Our colleagues Thijs & Bryan took first place at the European Solar Games during the Solar Solutions International trade fair. We are proud of them. Read more below about their splendid performance in the competition.

The European Solar Games

The European Solar Games are a distinctive part of the larger Solar Solutions International event. This year the competition was held for the fourth time. In it, installation teams fit solar panels on a roof in front of an audience.

The first two days are given over to the heats, followed by the final on day three. In the heats twelve installers, in teams of two, compete for a place in the final.

While the clock runs, the jury judges the installers on technical requirements and on the safety standards for working on a roof. The two teams with the highest scores in the heats compete for first place on day three.

Scores and criteria

A new scoring method was introduced this year, with 48 points available in total: 12 for safety, 15 for mounting, 9 for cabling and 12 for the handover. On equal points the installation time would decide, although that proved unnecessary in the heats. Thijs and Bryan scored highest with 44 points. The points were awarded by a professional jury drawn from BDA and InstallQ, which declared Dijkman Zonne-energie the winner.

The final

In the final Thijs and Bryan faced Potappel Installatie. Both teams fitted six working panels on the roof within the time allowed. After a short deliberation the jury named Thijs and Bryan the winners, again with 44 points, taking first place.

The prize

The hard work and commitment of Thijs and Bryan paid off. Besides a fine first place, both received a ceramic barbecue and a voucher for the Chapter training platform worth 1,440 euros.
