Heilig Hart Hospital in Lier invests in solar energy and EV charging

Ziekenhuis Heilig Hart Lier is taking its sustainability efforts beyond healthcare. To meet climate goals and rising energy needs, the hospital has invested in solar panels and EV charging stations – thereby complying with energy regulations.

BESIX Power, in collaboration with its installation company Energieconcepten, installed a solar energy system tailored to the needs of a modern care environment. The system includes 412 solar panels across 650 m² of roof space, delivering 194 kWp through 2 SMA inverters with an East-West orientation. It powers the hospital’s buildings, technical systems, and electric vehicles, while 4 EV charging points support sustainable mobility for staff and visitors.

The installation was designed to ensure reliability, safety, and continuity. With 100% self-consumption, the hospital significantly reduces its carbon footprint and keeps energy costs under control.
