The photovoltaic systems, which was started to be constructed in 2007, extends over 17,000 square meters throughout the entire industrial area. It has a total installed power rating of 1,4 Megawatts producing green energy of 1,582 MWh/year with a 20% reduction in emissions.
A further 10% reduction was obtained by applying a thermal insulation cover to the entire roof of the production facility, the introduction of domotics for lighting and heating systems and the use of warm air destratifiers.
