The Way to a Sustainable Metal Industry

Photovoltaic and solar installations for Staco Polska

In 2021, micro-photovoltaic and solar installations were designed and installed for Staco Polska. The project was designed with the goal to generate their own electricity. Sustainable industrialization is becoming more important by the day and those installations are part of Staco’s contribution to that. 

In total, 120 photovoltaic panels and multiple solar installations were placed. They are located in a way to withstand the different seasons in Poland. The 50 KW capacity of the photovoltaic installation will result in around 30 000 kWh savings on electricity per year. Other than that, they will also reduce the CO2 emission at Staco Polska by 14 000 kg per year. The solar panels responsible for water heating save around 22 400 kWh electricity per year. Next to that, they reduce the CO2 emissions created by Staco Polska by 4050 kg per year.

Overall, we are proud to report that the photovoltaic installation at Staco Polska will generate around 1,3% of their total power supply!

Solar panels at Staco Nederland – Generating own electricity

By installing over 1200 solar panels within nine months (November 2022 to July 2023) Staco Nederland is taking big steps towards clean and sustainable electricity. All panels are positioned in a way that is favorable in relation to the sun in order to use them to the best of their abilities. The total capacity of all panels adds up to 419 mWh per year. This numerical information is way more impactful than it might seem. 

We proudly conclude this information with the following statement: The panels installed can generate about 50% of the total yearly electricity used by Staco Nederland!

Rotocoat – Sustainable production

At Rotocoat, too, success can be encountered on the way towards sustainability. Recently they had a large number of new solar collectors installed to their production facility at Rotocoat Heerhugowaard. With the use of energy generated by these panels, they will be able to cover around 50% of their total electricity usage in this hall.

Living up to green ambitions in Uitgeest

In the beginning of 2021, more than 3,200 solar panels were installed at De Boer Staal and De Boer Snijbedrijf. Those installations contribute to the energy transition, an ambition shared throughout all ROTO business units. The solar panels in Uitgeest will generate approximately one million kWh, one GWh, of green electricity. Besides that, an annual reduction in CO2 emissions by 530 tons is expected through the solar panels. This underlines that at ROTO, all business units are working towards the same goal: creating a more sustainable metal industry.
