Better Energy uses TRIBE to grow its understanding of how the solar farms the company develops, builds, and operates can help progress the transition to renewable energy across Europe.
Pioneering an energy system based on renewables
The opening event was an invitation for industry partners and stakeholders to learn about the opportunities for collaboration on testing innovative technologies and strategies at the R&D farm. Better Energy trials photovoltaic (PV) technological advancements with the aim of scaling them across its markets in Northern Europe. Continually evaluating its technology comes from Better Energy’s commitment to play an active role in shaping the energy system of the future, allowing its partners and stakeholders to participate and drive the green transition. TRIBE is also where Better Energy displays some of their biodiversity initiatives that enrich and benefit microhabitats for local fauna and flora at its solar farms.
Industry and academic stakeholders share insights and pathways for future innovation
The opening event included a guided tour of the R&D solar farm, followed by several presentations from both Better Energy and industry experts. Speakers from energy sector leaders such as Energinet, N1 and the Danish District Heating Association presented on the future of Europe’s electrical grid, sector coupling and how to support the transformation of renewable energy systems. Academic institutes, including Aalborg University, University of Aarhus, Danish Technological University, and the University of Southern Denmark, came together to discuss research around the advancements in PV technology and the improving efficiency of renewable energy production. Mikkel Dau Jacobsen, Co-founder and Executive Operations Advisor at Better Energy, moderated panel discussions.
Scaling innovation at solar farms across Europe
TRIBE is located in Sønderborg in Jutland next to Better Energy’s offices and the first Better Energy Charge EV charging park. The strategic positioning of TRIBE in Sønderborg, a municipality with clear and ambitious climate plans including their commitment to Project ZERO 2029, allows Better Energy to efficiently translate the learnings from these initiatives to solar farms and communities throughout Denmark and its nearby markets of Sweden, Poland, and Finland.
