This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption for Futebol Clube de Alverca.
Futebol Clube de Alverca, a Portuguese football club based in Alverca do Ribatejo, Vila Franca de Xira, currently playing in the Portuguese 3rd Division. The club is a public institution founded in 1939 and located in Lisbon. In search of a more sustainable game, FC Alverca installed solar panels, with a 29.7 kWp output, on its pavilion. This initiative was financed by the campaign Social Solar Solcor XI.
Alverca continues to step up its environmental commitment, now with a 159 kWp solar installation on the roof of its pavilion. Since a major reorganisation in 2016, which included the construction of a second rink dedicated to training, as well as the renovation of equipment and the lighting system, the club has been implementing continuous improvements. This new energy initiative reinforces the sustainability of the sports center which, over the years, has hosted various sports such as roller hockey, tennis, cycling, and swimming. Today, it stands out as a training center for boccia, acrobatic gymnastics, roller hockey, karate, kenpo, krav maga, and figure skating. The solar installation, is expected to produce an estimated annual 237 MWh, achieving 37% self-sufficiency and generating a significant 48% reduction in costs.
The use of solar energy will not only benefit the club but will serve as an example to the sports community and society that it is possible to reconcile sport with sustainable energy.
The installation and operation of the solar panels will be installed and operated by the campaign promotor: Solcor Portugal, a company specializing in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic installations.
This campaign offers a longer-than-average loan term for Goparity standards. This means you will receive your capital back and gain interest over a more extended period of time. The rental agreement associated with the self-consumption photovoltaic installation foresees a low monthly payment by the beneficiary, who enjoys savings without initial financial investment to purchase the solar panels. Therefore, since the supply company’s payback period is longer, the payment plan is also extended (8-15 years). In this project, the beneficiary is a local sports club and organization, and the supplying company is Solcor. Additionally, Solcor ensures the solar plant's operation throughout this period, allowing the club to focus on its community. Payments will be guaranteed in part by Solcor, a financially solid enterprise, and by the beneficiary. A solar panel can be used for about 30 years, making it a safe, profitable investment with relevant environmental impact. Impact investing in this type of project is a commitment to cleaner, safer, decentralized, and democratic energy systems.
