BDA Solar Energy Systems
BDA Solar Energy Systems is the department of the BDA Group that focuses on architectural aspects of solar power systems that are installed on roofs and facades.
Energy: Generation and storage
There is a clear shift in energy generation and storage. More and more companies and organizations are doing this themselves, either alone or together in business parks. This involves generating renewable energy forms, such as from wind, sun and heat. Innovative storage methods, such as hydrogen or hot water tanks, are also being used.
How do you handle these developments? Kiwa makes the energy transition tangible. We do this with tailored advice, testing, certification and training. So you can make well-informed decisions.
What’s happing in the field of energy generation and storage?
The various forms of energy generation and storage are increasingly being used in combination. For example, energy generated via solar panels or parks is then stored as hydrogen.
Additionally, heat pumps are used as a combined system for both generation and storage, for example, in a hot water tank or underfloor heating.
Why Kiwa?
✓ One-stop-shop: knowledge of all sustainable energy solutions under one roof
✓ Proven quality for testing, certification and training
✓ Independent advice and assessment
✓ Concrete innovation steps with a tailored approach
✓ Quick action with our clear vision on the energy transition
Hydrogen Storage
Another challenge for the entire hydrogen supply chain, and specifically for car manufacturers, is storage. Hydrogen has a very low density, which means it has to be stored at high pressure. Kiwa offers services like certification, testing and inspection for hydrogen storage.
Hydrogen production processes
Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, following the process of electrolysis, whereby water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules using electricity.

The 5 misconceptions about hydrogen
Many people think of hydrogen as something new—a futuristic technology that has only recently gained attention. This isn’t entirely true. Hydrogen has been used for decades in industrial processes. However, numerous misconceptions still surround hydrogen, especially as it gains prominence in the energy transition. Let’s debunk some of these myths.
Hydrogen in Industry: The key to decarbonization
Is your industrial organisation ready for the energy transition? Many Dutch industrial companies are facing increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, driven not only by societal expectations but also by stricter regulations. With the ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and a CO₂ reduction of 55% by 2030, the government expects companies to actively contribute to decarbonization. The question is: how can your business prepare and what role can hydrogen play in this?
