Abstract
The “Stad van de Zon” (Sun City) residential area in Heerhugowaard, the
Netherlands, , has been designed to be a net zero CO2 emissions area. This would be
achieved by installing 3.75 MWp of photovoltaic systems, 100 hectares of forest and
three wind turbines of 2.3 MW each. This will be the largest PV-related project in the
world. Together with PV-projects in Alkmaar and Langedijk the project will have a
total installed peak power of 5 MWp. The residential area has been built since 2002.
1.038 MWp had been installed on 700 houses until May 2006. The goal of 3.75 MWp
in Sun City Heerhugowaard has been lowered to 2.45 MWp (Verberne, 2006).
