What will you be financing?

This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at ACarvalho, a Portuguese company based in Coimbra that specializes on buying, repairing, and selling cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles.

The project consists of installing 22 photovoltaic panels and one Inversor Solax Trifásico 10KW X3 to produce energy for the shop, thus reducing the energy costs and shifting towards clean energy. The photovoltaic plant will have a total of 10,12 kW of installed power, allowing it to produce 14 MWh of clean energy per year.

Econature will carry out the construction of the solar plant and installation of the panels, a Portuguese company specializing in renewable energy solutions, specifically photovoltaic solar panels, thermal solar panels, and pellet and biomass boilers.

What is the impact?

Direct

Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of 14 MWh, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, the equivalent to planting 255 trees.
Cost reduction for the final client: the decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the consumption site, helps to avoid distribution costs, making this a more competitive option than reverting to the national grid. Furthermore, the decreased dependency of the company on the national grid, makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.

Indirect

Promotion of a transition towards sustainable and efficient resource use: the installation of a solar plant in a car services company is an example of the applicability of solar power for smaller businesses, setting a benchmark for this segment in Coimbra.
