Out of Responsibility for Our Environment

Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy. This is done using solar cells, which are mostly made of silicon. These individual cells are then connected together to form modules, hence the term photovoltaic module.

On the roof of our production building, we commissioned a photovoltaic system on December 15, 2010. By doing so, we take responsibility for the future. The system, covering an area of about 2,000 m², has a capacity of nearly 300 kWp. The yield is roughly equivalent to the energy needs of 100 average private households.

The solar power from this system can save about 210 tons of carbon emissions per year. Thus, we make our small contribution to reducing the greenhouse effect.
