Industrial Project 130 kW

Project Background

Fresco Verde, a vegetable packaging factory located in Nojorid, near Oradea in Bihor, Romania, has been supplying fresh and healthy produce for over seven years. Recognizing the importance of sustainable practices, the company decided to integrate solar energy into its operations. The installation was carried out in collaboration with LONGi’s distributor, Solar Group Romania, and installer Agrofrosta Colectare Cooperativa Agricola, reflecting their shared commitment to sustainability.

The Need for Photovoltaic Products

As an energy-intensive operation, Fresco Verde’s vegetable packaging factory sought to reduce its environmental footprint and operating costs. Embracing solar energy aligned with the company’s philosophy of balancing quality products with environmental responsibility. The factory needed a reliable and efficient energy source to power its daily operations while setting an example for sustainability in the agricultural sector.

Choosing LONGi Hi-MO X6 HTH Panels

Fresco Verde selected LONGi’s Hi-MO X6 66-HTH530W photovoltaic panels, known for their conversion efficiency of 21.6%. These panels offered advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and a proven ability to maximize solar energy production. The decision underscored Fresco Verde’s commitment to quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility.

Results and Achievements

The installation of the 130 kW photovoltaic system on Fresco Verde’s flat roof has delivered remarkable results:

• Energy Production: In April alone, the system produced 18.81 MWh of energy. To date, it has exceeded 35,000 MWh, fully covering the factory’s energy needs.

• Environmental Impact: The project reduced carbon emissions by 12.54 tons of CO2 and saved the equivalent of 10.56 tons of standard coal, contributing significantly to environmental protection.

• Cost Savings: By producing its own energy, Fresco Verde significantly reduced electricity costs, ensuring long-term financial benefits.

• Industry Leadership: The factory’s initiative positions it as a role model in the agricultural industry, promoting sustainable practice.

Unique Aspects of the Project

The Fresco Verde installation demonstrates how solar energy can complement agriculture by powering operations with renewable energy. This initiative is a testament to the synergy between high-quality produce and environmental responsibility, inspiring others in the industry to adopt green solutions.

Challenges and Solutions

Despite the scale of the project, the installation proceeded smoothly, with no significant challenges reported. The collaboration between Solar Group Romania, Agrofrosta, and LONGi ensured a seamless process from start to finish.

Impact and Significance

The Fresco Verde project illustrates the transformative potential of solar energy in agriculture. It showcases how adopting renewable energy not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a sustainable future for generations to come. The project’s success encourages other entrepreneurs to follow suit, demonstrating the viability and benefits of green energy solutions.

Conclusion

Fresco Verde’s adoption of LONGi’s Hi-MO X6 66-HTH530W panels highlights the power of solar energy in driving sustainability in agriculture. This investment reaffirms the company’s dedication to quality and environmental stewardship, proving that renewable energy is a responsible and efficient solution for modern industries.
