Photovoltaic: the renewable power which respect the enviroment
In order to help protect the environment Cascina San Cassiano has chosen a photovoltaic system to produce energy for its activity; the company is now completely independent from the energetic point of view.
The solar plant helps the planet by producing power from renewable source.
The advantages that come from the use of a plant which produces “clean energy” are many:
- NO RISKS: the solar source of power is inexhaustible, the panels operation warranty lasts 25 years, the installations times are quite short, 1 day for a private plant, 1 months for a plant which produces 1 MW.
- ENVIROMENT: the plant produces power where the energy will be used, without losses or dispersions, and further the image of the building will be better because of the eco-friendly feature. Also the value of the building will grow up.
- ECONOMIC: the use of the power produced in the same place in which it’s generated optimizes the management costs
Meter: starting from November 2012 Cascina San Cassiano has produced with its photovoltaic system 230758,24 kWh, total of CO2 emissions avoided 161,53 tons (last update 01/03/2015).
