These panels are expected to generate approximately 25-30% of the facility's electricity, making a substantial step towards reducing its environmental impact.
Local collaboration with INVECO
With the expertise of locally based contractor INVECO, TR Italy developed an optimal installation strategy for its sustainability initiative. This plan included replacing polycarbonate skylights with steel sandwich plates, maximising the available roof space without compromising on natural daylight inside the facility. Additionally, this upgrade allows for a temperature-controlled reduction of approximately three degrees Celsius in the production areas, significantly improving employee comfort in the hot summer months.
Solar energy production and ESG Commitment
The photovoltaic panels, along with six inverters, are projected to generate approximately 900,000 kWh annually. And during weekends when energy consumption is lower, TR Italy will be able to sell surplus energy back to Terna, the operator of Italy's national grid. This initiative is another example of TR's commitment to enhancing its global ESG metrics.
