In December 2021, housing corporation Wonen Limburg commissioned the installation of ZigZagSolar façades on two sides of the Dempsey flat in Sittard. This special project yielded fantastic results. Residents were given the opportunity to select from various 'street art' designs, which were then enlarged and applied to the façade. Weatherproof prints were used on the decorative reflective panels, while the solar panels themselves were left untouched to ensure maximum performance and easier recycling.
This method allows for the most beautiful colours with precise colour reproducibility. A total of 200 narrow solar panels were installed, generating 16,000 kWh annually. This energy supports the communal energy consumption of the flat, resulting in significant savings on service costs for residents. ZigZagSolar collaborated with creative professionals such as FWP Architecture and GOMAD Urban Art Studio to bring this project to life.
