HYDRO & SOLAR
Since 2016 EQA Energy developes Hydropowered energy solutions.
As of 2020 EQA Energy introduced the development of Floating & Submersible Solar energy solutions.
MISSION
It’s EQA’s mission to contribute to respectfully harvest and utilise unintermittent and intermittent (renewable) sources of energy, gracefully provided to us by nature. We support the shift from fossil to renewable energy consumption.
Within our company, it is required that everything we do is environmentally friendly. Our solutions are therefore provenfishfriendly. And certified as such.
We offer plug & play and easy-to-install and relocate solutions only.
VISION
Production of renewable energy offers a transition from centralised to decentralised energy production. Decentralised (local) energy production offers a myriad of advantages. Both environmental as well as economic. Both on-grid as well as off-grid. Worldwide.
EQA offers renewable energy producing and storage solutions that compete with the economics of traditional energy sources. EQA solutions can be well-integrated in the daily requirements of the user(groups).
EQA RIVER
Large and free floating rivers offer the world a large and unintermittent renewable energy potential. EQA offers an A-typical solution. No large scale invasive constructions. But light- weight, removable, plug & play smart watermills. Proven technology. Proven to be highly fish-friendly.

FLOATING SOLAR
Floating Solar offers a series of advantages;
-
(scarce) land consumtion is being avoided
-
water saving and water quality is improved depending on the climate
-
production of renewable solar energy is more efficient than production on land, due to reflection, sun-tracking and natural cooling
-
installation and decommissioning is simpler
-
in many cases, floating solar does not polute the horizon or landscape.
MADE SUBMERSIBLE
All advantages aside, floating solar fields embody -like many alternatives- a potential risk of damage in case of extreme weather conditions, especially strong winds and storm.
To eleminate thsi risk, EQA has developed and patented a sumbersible floating solar field. Guided by wheather data, a floating solar field will fully submerge within a 15 minute window. At calmer weather conditions, a solar field will resurface within 15 minutes.
On top of weather protection, an additional advantage of submerging a solar field, is that Photovoltaic cells are cooled and clean after resurfacing.
Insurance companies, project developers and numerous other stakeholders prefer submersible solar fields over regular floating solar fields.
