Solar energy for self-consumption for a graphic design company.
Description
This campaign aims to finance a electric charger and a photovoltaic self-consumption system for the company Manuel Barbosa & Filhos, Lda.
The installation and operation of the solar panels will be carried out by the campaign promoter: Solcor Portugal, specialising in solar installations.
Manuel Barbosa & Filhos, Lda was founded on 24 November 1978, starting its activity in the Portuguese city of Loures. The company has been committed to building a serious, credible and renowned presence in the world of Graphic Arts. This founding ambition continues to guide its identity and performance, sustaining relationships of trust and a consolidated reputation in the market.
The funds raised through this campaign are intended to finance the installation of a solar system with a capacity of 129,9 kWp and a charger for electric vehicles. This project will enable annual production of approximately 187987,70 kWh, and energy self-sufficiency of 44%. This guarantees a significant reduction in operating costs.
This is Solcor's twenty-fourth campaign. 14 of the 20 previous campaigns financed solar energy for social organizations: Social Solar Solcor, Social Solar Solcor II, Social Solar Solcor III, Social Solar Solcor IV, Social Solar Solcor V, Social Solar Solcor VI, Solar Casarão, Social Solar Solcor VII, Social Solar Solcor VIII, Social Solar Solcor IX, Social Solar Solcor X, Social Solar Solcor XI, Social Solar Solcor XII, Solar Neutripuro, Social Solar Solcor XIII, and Solar Solcor IV.
The Impact
Direct
- Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 187 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of more than 8 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 375 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.
- Promoting the modernisation of infrastructure to make it more resilient and sustainable: This loan will enable the company to install an electric vehicle charging station at its premises, fostering the adoption of electric mobility within its operations.
Indirect
- Promoting sustainable business: The project developed for Manuel Barbosa & Filhos 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.

Financial viability
Under the terms of the PPA, Manuel Barbosa & Filhos will pay a monthly amount corresponding to a fixed solar rate multiplied by the energy produced in that month. Given the historical performance of the photovoltaic system, the income generated by this PPA will comfortably cover the loan debt service and ensure the financial viability of the project.
