Organized by Dutch Solar Magazine, the Dutch Solar Awards is a juried competition designed to showcase the best of the Netherlands’ solar energy sector by recognizing innovation in several awards categories. The Industry Development category recognizes a company that excels in achieving an industrial innovation (realized in calendar year 2011) that advances the progress of industry and the solar market on a global scale.

In awarding TULiPPS with its prestigious award, Jury President, Prof. Dr. Wim Sinke, who is also Program Development manager-Solar Energy at the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) as well as chairman of the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform said:
“The jury selected TULiPPS Solar because the company ranked highest in a number of criteria. We were impressed by the owner, Paul Stassen’s incredible persistence in moving this company and its technology forward. He has put together a unique multidisciplinary consortium with a remarkable number of partners whose expertise in solar, roofing, glass, composites, and even automotive have helped TULiPPS completely redesign the solar module. They have designed a new product from scratch, but have used proven technology that exists today even if it’s not so well known or so visible in the solar industry, and it is broadly deployable. They are an excellent example of the kind of ‘out-of-the-box thinking’ that will move our industry forward.”
TULiPPS could not have done so much so fast if not for our really excellent development partners. We owe thanks to RESIN (Products & Technology) B.V., QolorTech B.V., and voestalpine Plastics Solutions for their invaluable help with resin formulation and test molding. We congratulate Ducatt N.V. and LiSEC Group for their amazing breakthrough in ultra-thin, fully tempered solar glass. Oskomera Solar Power Solutions B.V. and IBC Solar B.V. were critical in helping us understand the issues facing this industry. BPO provided all the design and engineering on the COSMOS modules. Thanks also go to Solar Modules Nederland B.V. for producing our first panels and to Kiwa N.V. who tested them and let us know how remarkable their performance was. Financial support from the Province of Noord-Brabant and business assistance from the Brabantse Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij (BOM) have been very helpful. Finally, we also wish to thank all members of the TULiPPS' Advisory Board.
