Sustainable Energy Integrated Into the Design
Integrate solar energy, battery storage and smart energy systems into buildings without compromising architectural quality.
Foresite Energy helps architects and developers apply building-integrated energy solutions in new-build, renovation and transformation projects. From solar facades and rooftop solar to battery storage and energy management, we support the design process from an early stage to make sustainable energy part of the building concept.

Challenges for Architects and Developers
Renewable energy generation is increasingly becoming an integral part of building design. Architects and developers must consider energy performance, CO₂ reduction, ESG goals, BREEAM ambitions, grid congestion and limited space for traditional solar panels.
At the same time, an energy solution must fit within the design, facade appearance, technical requirements and financial feasibility of the project. Foresite Energy helps integrate solar energy and energy storage intelligently without compromising the architectural quality of the building.
Solutions for Your Business
Battery Systems
Smart energy storage for
buildings and businesses in the Netherlands.
ZigZagSolar facade
Building-integrated solar facades with maximum energy yield and complete design freedom
Vertical Solar facade
Generate renewable energy with your building facade using vertical solar facade systems
Rooftop Solar
Transform your roof into a powerful solar energy system with our vertical bifacial solar panels
Solar noise barriers
A noise barrier with integrated solar panels - a smart solution for noise reduction and renewable energy generation
Design Freedom and Building Integration
Our solutions are developed for projects where energy performance and architecture need to work together. Instead of treating solar panels as separate additions, we look at how solar energy can become part of the roof, facade and overall building concept.
This makes our systems relevant for architects and developers looking for sustainable building solutions with high-quality appearance, clear energy yield and practical feasibility.
For which projects?
Our energy solutions are suitable for projects where sustainability, energy performance and spatial quality are important.
- New-build projects
- Renovation and transformation
- Office buildings
- Apartment complexes
- High-rise buildings
- Commercial buildings
- Public buildings
- Buildings with limited roof space
- Projects with BREEAM or ESG ambitions
Why Work With Foresite Energy?
Early Design Stage
We can support you from the concept or schematic design stage, so energy solutions can be logically integrated into the design.
Architectural Integration
Our solar facades and rooftop solutions align with the appearance, materiality and function of the building.
Energy Performance
We help projects use solar energy, battery storage and energy management to improve building performance.
Support for Design Teams
Foresite Energy can support design teams with technical input, energy advice and feasibility information. This makes it easier to include sustainable energy solutions from the start of the design and development process.
We can advise on:
- Suitable roof and facade surfaces
- Orientation and shading
- Choosing between rooftop solar, vertical solar and ZigZagSolar
- Integration with battery storage
- Energy yield and system configuration
- Visual and architectural integration
- Technical requirements for further development
How We Work
STEP 1
Project Analysis
We assess the building concept, location, orientation, available roof and facade surfaces, energy ambitions and technical requirements.
STEP 2
Custom Energy Concept
We recommend a suitable combination of solar facades, rooftop solar, battery storage and energy management for the project.
STEP 3
Design Integration
We provide input that allows the energy solution to be further developed within the design, engineering and project development process.

Every property location is different. With a free energy scan, we clearly map out the possibilities for your building.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you support us during the design phase?
Yes, we can support you early in the concept or schematic design phase. This allows solar energy, battery storage and facade integration to be better aligned with the building design.
Is building-integrated solar suitable for renovation?
Yes, especially in facade renovation, roof renovation or sustainability upgrades of existing buildings, building-integrated solar can be interesting. Feasibility depends on structure, orientation, shading and available surface area.
Can solar facades contribute to BREEAM or ESG goals?
Yes, solar facades can contribute to renewable energy generation, CO₂ reduction and improved building energy performance. This can be relevant for projects with BREEAM, ESG or sustainability ambitions.
Can you calculate energy yield or feasibility?
Yes, we can provide an initial analysis of solar potential, available roof and facade surfaces and the possible energy yield of different solutions.
What is the first step?
The first step is a no-obligation consultation or project analysis. We assess the building concept, location, available surfaces and sustainability goals.
