More than 3,000 solar panels
According to official sources, the Altona rooftop solar system is designed to reduce the use of fossil-fuelled electricity grid power at the plant by approximately 20%. The 1,45 MW system consists of more than 3.000 solar panels that cover approximately 80% of the Altona factory roof space.
The investment is expected to reduce the Altona site’s carbon footprint by over 1.700 t CO2-e per annum or roughly 6% of Altona’s gate-to-gate emissions.
