POLYVANTIS announces the commissioning of approximately 3.3 GWh of solar energy for its Weiterstadt, Germany, manufacturing location. The company will reduce its carbon (CO₂) footprint by 750 metric tons annually through the implementation of solar energy. This savings is equivalent to the energy required to run over 900 households*.
Innovating for Sustainable Improvement
“The installation of the solar park is an important step toward a resource-efficient future and underscores our commitment to innovating for the future,” says Reinhard Tag, EVP of Manufacturing for POLYVANTIS. “Through utilizing state-of-the-art methods such as solar energy, we are creating a future that promotes sustainable practices for our manufacturing operations.”
Efficient Use and Sustainable Energy Generation
The state-of-the-art solar plant is located on POLYVANTIS grounds and has an installed capacity of 3.6 MW and an expected annual energy production of approximately 3.3 GWh, making a significant contribution to sustainable electricity supply. Approximately 10% of the whole electric power consumption of the Weiterstadt site will be replaced with energy from the solar park.
Outlook on Future Projects
The commissioning of this plant marks another milestone in POLYVANTIS's sustainable strategy. Future projects are planned to continue expanding renewable energy sources.
