The Van de Perre family runs a modern veal calf operation with over 1,400 animals and, through De Driehoekshoeve, offers a rural accommodation for groups and holidaymakers, allowing guests to experience farm life and the countryside.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1067\">Problem statement<\/h3>\n<p>De Driehoekshoeve is generating an increasing amount of solar power, but without storage, it cannot use it efficiently. A large portion is lost or fed back into the grid at low cost. Additionally, the farm was looking for a safe, sustainable, and long-lasting way to store green energy without the risks or limitations of lithium batteries. The challenge: how to maximize retention of their own green energy and safely store it for years of use?<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1586\">Solution by EcoSourcen<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"EOP SCXW13624666 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{\">De Driehoekshoeve is taking a significant step toward full sustainability. By expanding the solar installation by 25\u202fkWp and generating an even larger share of its own green electricity, the majority of the farm\u2019s energy consumption can now be covered directly on-site. To make optimal use of this solar energy, 80\u202fkWh of energy storage has been provided via a vanadium redox flow battery. The choice of this technology is deliberate: unlike lithium systems, a flow battery offers an exceptionally long lifespan, is non-flammable, and is built with materials that can be produced and recycled in Europe. In this way, the farm chooses not only efficient energy storage but also a robust, safe, and future-oriented solution. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1612\"><strong data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1612\">EcoSourcen products<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Stockage technology<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW260117740 BCX0\" lang=\"NL-BE\" xml:lang=\"NL-BE\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260117740 BCX0\">2<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260117740 BCX0\">x\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260117740 BCX0\">ES Flow<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\"><strong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\">Smart control<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2230\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW210935714 BCX0\" lang=\"NL-BE\" xml:lang=\"NL-BE\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW210935714 BCX0\">Eniris intelligently manages the solar panels and the battery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\"><strong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\">Integration and partner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The professional installation of this project was carried out by our installation partner Green Power Future.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" title=\"WhatsApp Image 2026-03-17 at 09.08.314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314.jpeg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-10458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314-200x267.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314-400x533.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-17-at-09.08.314.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[270],"tags":[271],"class_list":["post-10467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-project-en","tag-16kw-80kwh-en"],"acf":[],"bedrijfsnaam":null,"_bedrijfsnaam":null,"bedrijf_intro":null,"_bedrijf_intro":null,"telefoonnummer":null,"_telefoonnummer":null,"mailadres":null,"_mailadres":null,"website":null,"_website":null,"logo_bedrijf":null,"_logo_bedrijf":null,"adres":null,"_adres":null,"top_partner":null,"_top_partner":null,"rank_math_focus_keyword":"battery","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10467"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10497,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10467\/revisions\/10497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecosourcen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
