Sunrock’s seamless onboarding with Solar Power Forecast

Founded in 2012, Amsterdam-based Sunrock has solidified its position as the leading developer of large-scale solar roofs in the Netherlands. It currently covers over one million square meters, having generated 847 GWh of clean energy since 2019. The company now aims to expand its sustainable energy solutions across Europe, venturing into ground, water, and carport projects.

Sunrock uses a client-focused ‘make the sun work’ approach, with short-term power trading as a critical enabler of optimal financial performance. Noticeably, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources was leading to a sharp increase in balancing costs. To maintain its edge in the market, Sunrock looked for a highly accurate and scalable forecast for its solar portfolio.

Their trading team recently started using Dexter Energy’s Power Generation Forecast for the day-ahead. Dexter’s commitment went beyond providing high-performing products to making sure their new customer maximizes the solution’s potential and is promptly supported whenever needed. This unique approach to premium service was evident in the comprehensive onboarding process.

Trading analysts and data engineers were guided by two specialized team members, facilitating a structured and tailored implementation. Regular touchpoints further ensured clear communication and consistent service throughout the integration. The dedication came as a positive surprise. Victor van Doorn, Quantitative Trading Analyst, explains:

“Dexter Energy has truly exceeded our expectations when it comes to onboarding. Their approach was really helpful – we had a dedicated Customer Success Manager, a dedicated Operations Engineer, a clear onboarding path, and weekly meetings that guided us every step of the way.

We were very impressed with the support and guidance they provided.”

Sunrock and Dexter Energy are both driven by ambitious climate goals and commitment to creating impact through innovation. Following the smooth onboarding, the collaboration is off to a good start and promises significant strides towards a sustainable future.
