E.On has announced a partnership with solar heat and hybrid company Naked Energy.
The deal will see Naked Energy’s solar technology deployed to commercial and industrial-scale projects across Europe and the UK run by E.On´s business unit Energy Infrastructure Solutions (EIS). Once a pilot is completed, EIS will offer Naked Energy’s solar technology to a range of customers.
The technology is said to support customers with high energy demand and limited available space.
EIS provides integrated, digitally enabled energy solutions for cities and industries in 16 European countries. In total it services 1.5 million customers through 4,500 plants, which collectively produce 19 TWh hours of heat, cooling and steam, and 12 TWh hours of electricity.
Naked Energy is the British developer of high energy density solar technology for flat roofs. Its Virtu solar collectors convert the sun’s energy into heat up to 120°C, while its solar PVT generates both electricity and solar heat up to 75°C.
Naked Energy’s technology will be offered to a range of EIS customers across Europe who have a strong use case for renewable heat, such as breweries, food and beverage, apartment blocks, hotels, leisure centres with swimming pools, and district heat networks.
