About the project

The Solar Roofs for Green Virovitica project is aimed at increasing the production of electricity from solar energy and strengthening cooperation between Croatian and Norwegian public sector organizations and the academic community. The project will result in an estimated annual electricity production of 797.09 MWh from solar energy and a reduction of CO2 emissions by 126.42 tons per year.

7 pilot projects of integrated photovoltaic power plants with a total power of 700 kW will be implemented on public buildings in the city of Virovitica, and users of the facilities can experience the results of the project with an innovative augmented reality solution.

The project will enable the establishment of bilateral relations between organizations from the Republic of Croatia and the Kingdom of Norway in the field of management and promotion of energy from renewable sources with the aim of exchanging experiences, presenting examples of good practice and establishing future cooperation.

Experience photovoltaic power plants through augmented reality!

With the “Equinox XR” app, you can learn more technical information about photovoltaic power plants in a virtual way through augmented reality technology. Move freely around the location, explore and get to know the displayed augmented reality content

Instructions for using the application:

Visit one of the locations with available AR content, marked on the photovoltaic power plants map
When starting the application, it is necessary to allow the application to access your camera and GPS location, which must be turned on when using the application

EEA Grants

The main goal of the "Energy and Climate Change" program of the financial mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA) is to increase the use of energy technologies, increase the security of energy supply and reduce carbon emissions in the Republic of Croatia according with the goals of the EEA and the Norwegian financial mechanism.

As part of the "Energy and Climate Change" program, almost €10 million is secured and 19 projects were supported, which will result in the installation of 172 integrated photovoltaic power plants with a total connected power of 11.58 MW, i.e. 12.37 MW peak.

The program implementation plan in the Republic of Croatia is focused on energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy sources, with focus on solar energy, sea energy and geothermal energy.
