Spaarnezaam

About

Founded in 2015, Spaarnezaam is a co-op headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar.

Spaarnezaam is a member-owned energy cooperative founded in 2015 without profit motives. The organization develops and operates rooftop solar installations in Haarlem, with three operational systems as of 2024. Members invest in 'solar stream shares' (zonnestroomdelen) on large roofs, receiving annual returns from electricity generation. Investment payback typically occurs in 7-8 years through government incentive schemes. The cooperative partners with Greenchoice for energy sales and supports forest restoration and natural recovery projects in the Philippines as part of its climate commitment.
