Part of the Sun

Sharing for a sustainable future, that is what DeeldeZon stands for. The project - led by Zonnova - combines sunroofs, smart charging stations and sharing cars in order to contribute to the realization of energy-neutral neighborhoods and neighborhoods in the border region. Smart charging stations will use the energy from the sunroofs for the cars and vice versa. ParknCharge, together with Enervalis, is responsible for the realization of bi-directional charging points: via these charging points and car batteries of shared cars, a stable energy supply and storage is ensured. Buurauto (Breda, the Netherlands and Houthalen/Helchteren, Flanders) and Partago (Antwerp) take on the deployment of the shared cars. The solar panels are installed on public buildings, industrial buildings and homes. The advantage of this is that these buildings are usually located in the residential areas, easily accessible and provided with parking options for the shared cars. In addition, software is being developed for, among other things, the load on smart charging stations and for reserving, managing and using cars. An electric bicycle sharing system is also being set up. Small mobility hubs are realized where you can choose between a shared car or bicycle. In the border region, DeeldeZon aims for the realization of 80 sunroofs, 120 bi-directional charging stations and 150 electric shared cars. In total around 24,000 panels will be connected. In Antwerp it is being investigated, among other things, whether the roofs of the cultural center, the Kaleidoscope and the local swimming pool can be provided in the municipality of Mortsel. This densely populated southern edge of Antwerp suffers from major mobility problems. DeeldeZon therefore tries to make the residents enthusiastic about sustainable commuting and to exchange the 2nd car for an electric shared car system that is easy, reliable and available.
