The Harmony – OCMW Wellen

80 cooperative solar panels on the roof of De Harmonie, a well-known meeting point for residents of Wellen. The installation produces more than 26,600 kWh annually — enough for 7 to 8 Flemish households — and saves approximately 9.25 tons of CO₂ per year.

De Harmonie is the home base of the Royal Harmonie De Kluchtige Vrienden and serves as a cultural meeting space for the municipality. Through the cooperative model, local residents become co-owners of the installation.

The generated electricity is primarily consumed locally by the municipality at favorable rates. The surplus is shared with other municipal buildings through the energy-sharing principle, including the Social House and childcare facility.

The solar panels and inverter have been installed. We are now awaiting the official inspection of the installation, after which green electricity production can begin.
