The value of integrated management for your energy system: talk to one of our experts.
Our services
The long-term financial health of your energy system needs to be guaranteed. It’s paramount. However, the world around you is changing. That has an impact, even with a long-term PPA contract. Klaer represents your interests in the market. We’re familiar with all the key players: banks, PPA Parties, auditors and governments. We provide support and technical knowledge in all these aspects, with one fixed point of contact.
The idea is simple. As residents and entrepreneurs, you want sustainable, reliable, affordable energy. Locally generated, for local use. That’s why you took action. So you can decide how to generate green energy and benefit from the proceeds.
But where do you go from here? Energy prices are fluctuating, energy system technology is rapidly developing and government policies are changing. This raises questions: Is investing in a battery a smart decision? Which legislation is changing? Can we improve yields and therefore the returns for the environment? Smart management is the solution. Klaer supports energy cooperatives down to the last detail. With professional management services and green energy system optimisation. We contribute technical knowledge. We also provide support with participation, tax legislation, subsidy schemes and access to energy markets. That’s why you team up with Klaer.
We have around twenty years’ experience in managing green energy systems: solar and wind installations and storage systems such as batteries. We now manage over 800 MWp of capacity in the Netherlands and we know all there is to know about operating energy solutions.
For energy cooperatives, this starts by actively involving local residents and stakeholders in the issues that arise. Those issues may relate to your system management, from letting sheep graze and organising tours to optimising the installation settings. We ensure that your cooperative and the energy system both get the attention they deserve. After all, we believe in the power of cooperatives: initiatives close to home that make the world more sustainable and benefit the environment.
As a developer of green energy systems, in collaboration with Lowlands, in 2022 Novar realised the world’s largest solar carport. Klaer ensures that this innovative project performs to its full potential, by providing commercial and technical management services and operational maintenance.

Sustainability can only be achieved together
We know about the challenges that energy cooperatives face. Klaer offers solutions. But we do it together, because we need each other in order to meet energy targets.
A personal approach
We believe in personal contact and we stand for openness and trust. Remote monitoring? On-site inspection? Consultation with the municipality? A neighbourhood meeting? We’re here.
Solar farms have an impact on the local environment, and so participation is key to our approach. Successfully managing solar and wind farms is something we do together with initiators, residents, businesses and the municipality. Not only do we give them all the space they need to get involved, we also look at how everyone can benefit in an equal share of the proceeds. Because we can only accelerate the energy transition by working together.
Trust begins with getting to know each other. Schedule a meeting or contact us directly.
