A colourful duck powered by the sun? Absolutely.<\/strong> In collaboration with climate company Nuhma<\/strong>, SOLTECH helped realise a unique piece of fa\u00e7ade art in the heart of Limburg. The vibrant duck \u2013 created by Hasselt-based artist Nele Bijnens<\/strong> \u2013 was printed directly onto two fully functional solar panels<\/strong>. The result is a striking visual statement that unites art, energy and local identity.<\/p>\n For 25 years, Nuhma has played a key role in driving energy and climate initiatives across the Limburg region. To mark this anniversary, the organisation sought a symbolic feature for the fa\u00e7ade of its headquarters. The inspiration came from The Flying Duckman<\/em>, a work by Piet Stockmans \u2013 whose original porcelain duck already stands in Nuhma\u2019s reception area. Artist Nele Bijnens reinterpreted the concept in a modern, expressive way, using bold layers of paint and energy lines that mimic the flow of Limburg\u2019s rivers, such as the Demer<\/strong> and Jeker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What makes this project truly special is the way the artwork was produced: the duck was printed on custom solar panels<\/strong> developed by SOLTECH<\/strong>. Using advanced foil technology, the panels are not only visually appealing, but also fully functional.<\/p>\n Bas van de Kreeke<\/strong>, CEO of SOLTECH: The artwork has now been installed on Nuhma\u2019s white fa\u00e7ade and immediately draws attention. It\u2019s a powerful example of how solar energy can also tell a visual, cultural and regional story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/soltech.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Schermafbeelding-2025-05-16-om-13.44.05.png” alt=”de-kikker-community-school-dok-architecten_5″ title_text=”Schermafbeelding 2025-05-16 om 13.44.05″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/soltech.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Schermafbeelding-2025-05-16-om-13.44.30.png” alt=”de kikker” title_text=”Schermafbeelding 2025-05-16 om 13.44.30″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.tvl.be\/nieuws\/bekend-limburgs-eendje-prijkt-als-kunstwerk-op-gevel-nuhma-in-hasselt-174359″ button_text=”Watch the project video here” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” url_new_window=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#113E76″ divider_weight=”5px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”10%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”15px” custom_margin=”15px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#113E76″ divider_weight=”5px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”10%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”15px” custom_margin=”15px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” posts_number=”9″ include_categories=”157,162,163″ show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|||on|||||” meta_font=”||||||||” meta_text_color=”#113E76″ border_radii=”on|25px|25px|25px|25px” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#F4A900″ border_radii_image=”on|25px|25px|25px|25px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#113E76″ custom_padding=”|||0px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/soltech.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Soltech_Zonnestralen01.png” title_text=”Soltech_Solar01″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_text_color=”#113E76″ header_2_text_color=”#F4A900″ header_5_text_color=”#F4A900″ header_6_text_color=”#F4A900″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Whatever your project, Soltech puts energy into it.

Where solar meets storytelling<\/h3>\n
\n
\u201cWe believe solar panels can be beautiful, without compromising performance. For this project, we worked with vivid colours and high contrast \u2013 and the result is both technically efficient and artistically valuable. This is exactly where SOLTECH makes the difference: innovative solar solutions that add architectural and narrative value.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nSee the result for yourself<\/h3>\n
