Plastics manufacturer bets on solar energy to reduce carbon

The plant relies on solutions from photovoltaic inverter manufacturer Solis

To reduce carbon emissions and aim to stabilize energy costs, the UK renewable energy company Engenera entered into a partnership with the manufacturer Solis to install a photovoltaic system at the plastics company Faerch Plast. 

The plant has 13 110 kW inverters, two 80 kW Solis inverters and more than 4,000 470 W Jinko Solar modules. The project will be carried out through a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) – long-term purchase and sale of energy.

“Energy and environmental management is at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to improving our production processes to minimize any negative effects around us. We are therefore delighted to have achieved our target of using 100% of renewable energy across the Group,” Faerch said in a statement.

According to the plastics manufacturer, as this was a PPA project, the choice of Solis was due its financial stability. Other points that led to the choice were product reliability, network connectivity and design flexibility offered by several MPPTs.

“Designed specifically for commercial rooftop applications, the 110 kW inverter integrates our fifth-generation technology and best-in-class components to deliver industry-leading efficiency and performance. Working together with our commercial customers, we can ensure that maximum energy yield and return on investment are realized,” said Sandy Woodward, European regional director at Solis.

Also according to the inverter manufacturer, the recent launch of SolisCloud, an intelligent monitoring platform, allows all installations to be tracked and partially maintained online with remote firmware updates, also reducing many expensive trips to the site.
