Solar energy for a sustainable future

Investing in renewable energy sources to ensure a more sustainable future for our children. An important project, a great display of Scavolini’s care for the environment .

Investing in renewable energy sources to ensure a more sustainable future for our children: this is one of the reasons that led Scavolini to choose a photovoltaic power plant.

Always committed and attentive to environmental issues, the company decided in 2011 to produce green energy internally through photovoltaic panels.

This choice is part of Scavolini Green Mind project; a truly articulated strategic path that aims to enhance safeguarding of the natural resources that surround us.
The photovoltaic power plant installed on the roofs of the factory produces approximately 4,000,000 kWh, a substantial quantity capable of ensuring a near total energetic autonomy (about 90% of consumption).

The photovoltaic power plant, along with other advantages, reduces the temperature inside the production areas in summer as it minimizes the absorption of solar energy and consequently improves comfort within the workplace.

Moreover, thanks to this system, the emission of CO2 is reduced by about 2,100,000 kg, corresponding to 275,000 trees and a fuel savings of approximately 870,000 litres.
Part of the hot water used in the factory is also produced by the solar panels.

An important project, a great display of Scavolini’s care for the environment.
