Photovoltaic installations on Coca-Cola buildings with UNI-SOLAR PV-laminates are being finalized in record time
More than three megawatt have been installed on different sites of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company in Italy
Solar Integrated Technologies GmbH and power company ContourGlobal have been making rapid progress on green energy solutions on four different sites of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. using UNI-SOLAR® flexible thin-film photovoltaic systems. The sites have been finished in the shortest possible timeframe, completed by the end last year in time to benefit from 2010’s feed-in tariff rates.
(firmenpresse) - Initiated by ContourGlobal, a solution based on UNI-SOLAR was once again chosen for PV installations on four Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company sites in Italy, following other installations in Europe and the U.S. The PV-systems in Marcianise (905 kWp), Nogara (1249 kWp), Oricola (622 kWp) and in Monticchio (472 kWp) will help Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, well known for its environmental corporate responsibility, to produce clean energy while reducing its carbon footprint. All solar systems combined will generate an estimated amount of 3 330 megawatt hours per year saving about 1 770 tons per year in CO2 emissions.
The projects were realized together with ContourGlobal as system owner and operator, who provided the financing and the integration into a larger energy savings program providing further benefits to Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company’s efforts to further reduce its carbon footprint and increase the energy efficiency of its operations.
The decision for UNI-SOLAR brand products was made due to Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company’s requirement of a low-impact PV-installation on the rooftops of their facilities. Both the products used – PowerPlate and PowerTilt – are light-weight and adapt perfectly to the architectural design while generating high energy yields. Solar Integrated’s PowerPlate consists of flexible UNI-SOLAR thin-film PV laminates adhered to an aluminum-zinc coated steel sheet, ideally suited for metal roofs. The PowerTilt product is the newest addition to Solar Integrated’s and United Solar’s product portfolio. UNI-SOLAR PV-laminates on aluminum sandwich boards are tilted through a light substructure, making even extremely low-sloped roofs accessible for PV installations.
Solar Integrated’s engineering capacity end experience in the field of photovoltaic installations was one of the driving factors behind the decision for Solar Integrated and UNI-SOLAR brand products. As an expert in rooftop PV applications, Solar Integrated has more than 350 projects with a capacity of over 30 MWp installed to date.
