What Energyra does

Energyra Europe B.V. is a Dutch premium photovoltaic module manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered in Westknollendam, near Amsterdam. The company produces back-contact solar panels based on European R&D from TNO Energy Transition (formerly ECN) and ISC Konstanz, using MWT PERC monocrystalline cells and ZEBRA IBC technology, paired with Endurans Solar conductive backsheets and KhepriCoat nano-coated anti-reflective glass. Its product portfolio spans four core module families — EclectIQ (full-black MWT PERC), IconIQ (ZEBRA IBC, >24% efficiency), DynamIQ (ultra-lightweight from 1.8 kg/m2), and DeflectIQ (anti-glare for airports, highways, urban sites) — plus supporting systems including the Container Energy Module (C.E.M.), FlexIQ, and MultiFix mounting. All panels are manufactured lead-free, fluorine-free, and PFAS-free at a single 100 MW production line, with a planned second 100 MW line for industrial specialties. Capacity equates to roughly 250,000 panels per year.

Energyra went bankrupt in 2019 due to production-line delivery delays and was acquired out of administration by Menno Veldboer (Veko Lightsystems family) in February 2020, who became CEO and owner; founder Daniël Kuijk continues as managing director. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of solar modules via a hybrid go-to-market: in Benelux, EclectIQ modules are distributed through Rexel and a Dutch installer network, while custom, mobile, harsh-environment, telecom BTS, and glare-sensitive deployments are sold direct. Strategic partners include ISC Konstanz, TNO, Endurans Solar, SPP, EasyFix Solar, Rexel, and — since November 2021 — Canadian EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies (EHT), with whom Energyra co-produces semi-flexible lightweight panels targeting a projected €100M in combined five-year revenue. The company serves five primary use-case segments: residential and small business, harsh environments, telecom BTS sites, mobile/disaster relief, and glare-sensitive applications, with active deployments across Benelux, broader Europe, Pakistan, Canada, and the United States.
