In a bid to kick-start the photovoltaics sector in the Netherlands, Van der Valk Solar Systems, the manufacturer of components for the horticultural industry, has joined forces with GH Solar. So far, solar progress in the country has been slow, due to lack of a renewable subsidy structure; however the introduction of a feed-in tariff is expected in the near future.

The two companies have produced a fully custom-made photovoltaic module as part of the collaboration, tapping into GH Solar's custom made photovoltaics experience. The new 'GreenTop' module has been custom-built for mounting on top of greenhouses.
