The new FuturaSun photovoltaic roof built by CPL CONCORDIA is now fully operational on the BAXI plant in Vicenza, in North Italy. Each new boiler is created using clean energy.
The 1 MW semi-integrated photovoltaic plant occupies 6,000 sqm of the plant located in the Vicenza province, built by the top facility and energy management firm CPL CONCORDIA (MO), in its capacity as project EPC. The plant was connected in May 2018.
A total of 3,675 FuturaSun FU270P photovoltaic panels were installed, manufactured by the dynamic company based in Padua, a consolidated name on the international photovoltaic scene. The panels are connected to 19 Inverters with 8 kilometres of electrical cables installed.
The system provides 992 kWp of power, which satisfies 25% of the entire plant’s annual electrical energy requirements, and 100% of requirements for the manufacture of boilers, which previously stood at 10.4 kWh per boiler. Overall annual energy generation amounts to 1,250,000 kWh, with emission saving amounting to 650 t/year of CO2.
In this way, BAXI has succeeded in optimising self-consumption of energy generated by the photovoltaic system and rendering the boiler production line energy-renewable.
These results stem from the above-average performance of FuturaSun panels compared to market standards, insofar as they guarantee a contractual yield of at least 90% up to the end of the 20th year, and at least 87% up to the 25th year of photovoltaic module life.
