Abstract
The Dutch national government is facing the challenges of the renewable energy transition and the need for reconstructions in non-highway road infrastructure. These functions can be combined in an innovative way, but levels of innovation seem to be lacking in the construction sector. The main research question of this thesis is: “which factors can help to successfully stimulate market involvement in the planning phase of photovoltaic installations in non-highway road infrastructure projects?” The discovered opportunities and barriers were analyzed through a PESTEL-method. Early market involvement is key to project success because of its ability to insert creative ideas into a project. A dialogue scoped towards innovation should take place in the earliest phase of a project so additional matching opportunities can be discovered. Furthermore it is important to reward sustainability in project bids. Thorough knowledge of local networks and key stakeholders is crucial for the success of an integrated project.
