A photovoltaic (PV) installation on the roof of E.G.O. Components (China) Co., Ltd (E.G.O. China) supplies 1,337 MWh of electricity annually.
Cutting-edge technology
The modules used by E.G.O. China are the latest monocrystalline silicon plates, which have various advantages. They offer exceptional flexibility, and polymer composites keep components crack-free, with a minimum bending diameter of one meter. The glass-free encapsulation makes them 60 to 70 % lighter.
A load capacity of only four kilograms per square meter is required on the roof, which is only 15 to 20 % of what conventional solar modules require. The modules are also safe and reliable.
The advantages of the solar module project:
- E.G.O. China only has to provide the area for the photovoltaic plant to the investor and receives solar electricity at a reduced rate (similar to a lease) in return.
- Total annual electricity generation 1,337 MWh, 89.2 kWh per m².
- Solar modules can last up to 25 years, which means significant cost savings.
- Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of around 18,510 t within 25 years.
PERFORMANCE, PEOPLE and PLANET
Under the abbreviation “3P” or “Triple P”, an action framework has been created in which the business models of the BLANC & FISCHER Family Holding and its companies are enhanced for the purpose of sustainable management.
In-house recycling
At ETA Tovarna d.o.o. in Cerkno, Slovenia (E.G.O. Slovenia), a project team looked for ways to reduce scrap metal from the stamping shop or to recycle it in a more climate-friendly way.
