Solar energy for self-consumption for a fruit producer

Description

This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic self-consumption system for the company Licofrutos Unipessoal Lda.

The installation and operation of the solar panels will be carried out by the campaign promoter: Solcor Portugal, specialising in solar installations.

Licofrutos is a company founded in 2009 and based in the Oeste region of Portugal. It is dedicated to the production and marketing of fruit products, with a strong focus on Rocha pear cultivation, and it also produces Ginja (a traditional Portuguese sour‑cherry liqueur).

The funds raised through this campaign are intended to finance the installation of a 72 kWp solar photovoltaic system for self-consumption, composed of 160 panels, two inverters, and a support structure. This project will enable approximately 105.2 MWh of clean energy production annually and 30% energy self-sufficiency. This guarantees a reduction of 40% in electricity costs. 

This is Solcor's twenty-seventh campaign. 17 of the 26 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, Social Solar Solcor VII, Social Solar Solcor VIII, Social Solar Solcor IX, Social Solar Solcor X, Social Solar Solcor XI, Social Solar Solcor XII, Social Solar Solcor XIII, Social Solar Solcor XIV, Social Solar Solcor XV, Social Solar Solcor XVI, and Social Solar Solcor XVII.

The Impact

Direct

Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 105.2 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 4.63 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 210 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 Licofrutos 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.
