TGS have chosen to work with our Italian partner Storevan not only because of the quality of their products, but also because of their amazing environmental achievements. The manufacturing facility boasts one of the most advanced and eco-sustainable photovoltaic systems installed to the 45,000m2 roof of production plant. 6140 polycrystalline silicone panels cover an area of 9824m2. The benefits of the photovoltaic plant can be demonstrated in a number of ways: saving of fossil fuels, use of solar energy as a “clean” and inexhaustible power source, reduction in wastage of electrical power as the power produced is used immediately, operating and maintenance costs reduced to a minimum. To demonstrate this we list a summary of the numbers recorded:
- Theoretical power of the plant 1412.20 kWp;
- Theoretical yearly production of the plant 1,657,800.00 kWh;
- Ratio of Co² not emitted to the kWh produced = 0.00065 tons of Co²/kWh.
- Producing 24% of the company’s annual demand
