Solar self-consumption energy system for a transportation company.

Description

RochaTir is a freight transportation and express services company operating at a European level, also specializing in special transports and cargo packaging solutions. 

This campaign aims to fund a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption, with a power output of 100 kWp and a anual production of 106,3MWh, along with 120 kWh of storage capacity for grid stability, and a 50 kW DC electric vehicle charger, to achieve energy self-sufficiency and reduce the company's environmental impact.

Established in 2015, the company currently has a team of nine employees.

The Impact

Direct

  • Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugalavoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 158 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 13.6 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 620 trees. 
  • Cost reduction for the end customer: decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the place of consumption, helps to avoid distribution costs, this being the most competitive option. In addition, the company's lower dependence on the national grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and tax charges. 

 Indirect 

  • Promoting sustainable business: the project developed for RochaTir is an example of the applicability of solar power for any business, and in this case serves as a benchmark to similar industries, an important step towards sustainability for businesses in Portugal.
