De Ridder BV and Coolpack cover roof with 784 solar panels
This week the installation of over 780 solar panels on the rear roof of the premises of De Ridder BV in Assendelft started. An important step towards more sustainable business: by generating solar energy, less electricity needs to be purchased from the grid. According to planning, the roof of about 2,000 square meters will be full of panels before the end of this year and we will be able to use our self-generated electricity from the beginning of 2023!
Energy for your own use
At De Ridder BV, of which Coolpack is a part, there is an on-site production facility where gel packs and cooling elements roll out of the machines day in and day out. Furthermore, power is needed for the offices, logistics operation and charging electric cars, among other things. So the energy generated is used for its own use.

“When excess energy is generated, it is fed back into the grid. Think of weekends and days off when the offices are not used and machines are not running. On very sunny days, we also generate more than we use ourselves, making us almost energy independent in the summer months,” explains Paul Opmeer, Supply Chain Manager at De Ridder BV. Together with Quality Manager Lex Appel, Finance Manager Suzanne Sep and Managing Director Hans Baars, he played an important role in realizing solar panels on our roof.
Growing green
De Ridder BV and Coolpack are growing fast, and so is awareness in the company, observes Hans Baars.
“We can’t get around the fact that as people but also as a company we have to take our responsibility to the planet we live on. Sustainability is high on our agenda and I notice that in our team. I am very pleased that the solar panels are now being installed: with these we will generate more than 313,000 watt peak. A big step in the right direction!” he says proudly.
The connection of the solar panels is expected to take place early next year and we will be able to enjoy self-generated energy at De Ridder! Want to know more about Corporate Social Responsibility at Coolpack and De Ridder? View our report in the CSR Register or check this page.
