In 2023, well aware that businesses have a fundamental role to play in tackling current climate challenges, POP wanted to significantly boost its investment in renewable energies. The aim is to maximise the generation of photovoltaic solar energy on the 8,000 square metres of its building in Nivelles, most of which comprises production workshops (metal, cardboard, plexiglass and digital printing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">75% of our electricity needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver this photovoltaic upgrade, POP called in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soltis.be\/\">Soltis<\/a><\/strong>, a leading Brussels-based service provider in energy efficiency, with 15 years of experience. &#8220;We&#8217;ve optimised the solar generation capacity. In addition to the 320 existing panels, 724 new 435W panels were fitted on the roof of the workshops and 36 425W panels above the head office,&#8221; explains Soltis CEO Philippe Rochez. Installation began on 18&nbsp;July and ended up taking a month after being delayed by bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" data-id=\"9079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.23.39-1024x573.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.23.39-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.23.39-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.23.39-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.23.39.png 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-id=\"8986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.popsolutions.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Batiment_PV_Timelaps_V5-2048x1150.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Total capacity is now almost 400&nbsp;kWp, with an output of 360&nbsp;MWh per year, equivalent to the consumption of 90 four-person households. &#8220;The 1,080 panels now cover 75% of the electricity needs of our Nivelles production unit,&#8221; says Thierry Pauwels, Sustainability Manager at POP&nbsp;Solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POP has increased the number of photovoltaic panels installed at its Nivelles site to over 1,000 further demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.
