About Linea Trovata

Linea Trovata is a Flemish family business that installed solar panels before subsidies and green certificates existed: it grew out of the La Trovata innovation working group set up in 1996 and started as a company in 2004. Today the group counts more than 20,000 projects, over 750 MWp of solar and over 50 MWh of batteries delivered, in all three Belgian regions as well as in France, Germany, Luxembourg and Slovakia. From its head office in Lokeren and its branches in Kontich and Ardooie, its own engineers, IT specialists, installation teams, maintenance technicians and switchboard builders carry a project from the first study to after-sales service, with more than 150 MWp of solar under maintenance. Linea Trovata is a recognised contractor, RESCert and VCA** certified, uses Tier 1 panels with at least 10 years of product warranty and 25 years of yield warranty, and operates its Linea Charge stations as an official charge point operator. Sister company Linea Trovata Warmtetechniek adds industrial heat pumps, as on ILVO's poultry research centre. As a PV Cycle collection point, it takes back old solar panels for recycling free of charge.

What Linea Trovata has delivered

Veiling HoogstratenFruit & vegetable auction

Solar, a 5 MWh battery and fast charging for e-trucks

The strawberry auction combines a large rooftop solar plant with a 5 MWh battery container and Linea Trovata's own controls, which raise the share of solar power used on site. The control goes beyond panels and battery: the cooling of the strawberries is steered too. A DC fast charger of up to 480 kW was added recently to charge electric trucks.

CorbeoBusiness

Peak shaving with a smart-controlled battery

At Corbeo in Zele, Linea Trovata installed an all-in-one, liquid-cooled industrial battery next to 220 kWp of solar panels. Driven by smart controls, the battery mainly flattens power peaks, which lowers the site's energy costs structurally.

Mili HoevezuivelDairy farm

A battery instead of a heavier grid connection

The heavy machines that make Mili's dairy products cause sharp consumption peaks, which would normally call for a heavier and more expensive grid connection. A battery now absorbs those peaks: the upgrade was no longer needed and the farm's peak demand fell significantly. Solar panels and a new roof had been installed before.

Agentschap Wegen en VerkeerRoad infrastructure

Flanders' first motorway interchange with solar panels

At the Zelzate-West interchange, Linea Trovata built a ground-mounted plant of 1,540 panels on metal structures for the Flemish roads agency. It supplies the nearby Debbaut and Zelzate tunnels and covers about half of their energy needs.

WZC De VijversCare homes

Half of a care home's power from its own roof

Solar panels now supply half of the care home's annual energy consumption. The roof was renewed and insulated at the same time, and despite the many obstacles on it, no square metre was lost. The investment broke even in 3.5 years.

Solar carports where the roofs were already full

On the Gasthuisberg campus, Linea Trovata delivered a large turnkey project spread over seven installations, including two custom solar carports. The carports turn car parks into energy sources without taking extra space, and protect cars from sun and rain, a good answer when roofs are fully used or cannot carry the ballast. Linea Trovata led the project from the first advice and profile analysis to after-sales service, with support from EU REPowerEU funding.
