Rooftop space, now production support

For our client, energy demand never rests. Processing, refrigeration, and quality control systems work continuously, requiring constant and reliable power. In a company where consistency defines both operations and product quality, optimising this energy flow was a natural next step.

The photovoltaic system was installed on the roof of the production facility, making efficient use of available space without interfering with operations. It integrates seamlessly with the plant’s existing electrical infrastructure and aligns production schedules with daytime solar generation.

By turning the roof into an active source of power, the facility now covers over 75% of its electricity needs directly from solar energy. It’s a system designed to support round-the-clock activity, powering refrigeration, processing, and packaging equipment with stable, locally generated electricity.

The recipe for constant performance

Precision matters just as much in energy generation. The photovoltaic system was designed and dimensioned to deliver stable, high-quality power across all operational phases.

With a total installed power of 380 kWp and a maximum AC output of 300 kW, the system connects to the internal grid at 400 V / 50 Hz. The inverters – SUN2000 30KTL-M3, each equipped with Smart-Dongle communication modules – operate at up to 98,4% efficiency, ensuring maximum energy conversion and dependable grid synchronisation.

All electrical interconnections are made with copper cabling, selected for its conductivity and durability, while protection systems prevent backfeeding or operational interruptions in case of grid outages.

Designed with a south orientation and optimal tilt, the array maximises solar exposure throughout the day, maintaining a balanced energy profile that supports both base and peak loads.

Sustainability that stays fresh

Sustainability is a standard that customers and partners now expect. By shifting to on-site renewable generation, the company reduces its environmental footprint and strengthens its operational independence at the same time.

Clean energy now runs through every stage of production, from the first switch-on to the final packaged product. Each production cycle carries a lighter footprint, avoiding around 102 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year, proving that responsible choices in energy can quietly redefine performance in the food industry.

The project was implemented under a Full EPC consortium, uniting design, execution, and technical expertise into a single, integrated process.
