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. date: 2019 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: Van Kann, F. keywords_local: infrastructure reconstruction keywords_local: contracts keywords_local: tendering keywords_local: area-oriented approach keywords_local: photovoltaics keywords_local: early market involvement language_iso: en titleorder: Capturing solar energy in non-highway road infrastructure projects: Stimulating market involvement in the planning phase of integrated projects dbi: 5c753e97a904a imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/EIP/2019/ahbouma/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132455-5c753e97a904a.xml date_issued: 2019-01-01 description_company: Witteveen+Bos citation: Bouma, A.H.
