What Sunprojects does
Sunprojects B.V. is a Dutch turnkey solar EPC contractor founded in 2005 as a family business and headquartered in Amstelveen. The company designs, procures, and constructs photovoltaic installations for commercial, industrial, institutional, and government customers, with a cumulative installed base exceeding 380 MWp and an active project pipeline of more than 1,000 MWp. Its technical scope spans rooftop, ground-mounted, floating, carport, building-integrated (BIPV), agricultural, and energy-producing noise-barrier applications, including proprietary lightweight thin-film and CIGS mounting systems (3.5-9 kg/m²) for low load-bearing roofs, a patented sun-tracking floating PV system developed through the Floating Solar joint venture with Dromec, and a Fire Class A BIPV facade system. Direct private-wire solutions bypass the public grid to serve large energy users (UMCG hospital via a 12 MWp park, HTM tram network), addressing Dutch grid congestion as a differentiated offering.
The business operates three coordinated revenue streams: one-time EPC project revenue (the bulk of turnover), recurring Operations and Maintenance on more than 150 MWp of installed capacity, and project development services that take solar parks to ready-to-build status with permits and SDE++ subsidies secured. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales, supported by co-development partnerships with capital providers (Trio Investment 300 MWp, Sunrock 200 MWp, WIRcon, BOM, Energiefonds Groningen) that fund and originate projects for Sunprojects to execute. The customer base is diversified across logistics (Westfields, Mandemakers, Dudok, Vopak), retail (IKEA, SPAR), healthcare (UMCG), water (PWN, Evides), real estate (Redevco, CBRE Global Investors), sports (AZ), and government (Port of Amsterdam, Gemeente Brummen, Gemeente Alkmaar), with operations across the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Romania, and Portugal.
The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, is led by CEO Hans Lambrechts, and is supported by full ISO 9001/14001/45001, VCA**, and Zonnekeur certifications. A separate Sunprojects Foundation, established in 2020, runs education and sustainability programs independent of the commercial business.
