The Challenge
Produce clean energy by leveraging the existing infrastructure
Frezite wanted to install self-consumption photovoltaic panels that would allow them to produce clean energy without being totally dependent on the public grid.
In this way, in addition to an ecological solution, the company would be able to reduce its production costs, becoming even more competitive in the market.
The big challenge was to know where to install these panels in order to store as much energy as possible, without having to build supporting infrastructures.

Our solution
The solution that Proef presented to Frezite was the installation of photovoltaic panels for self-consumption on the roof of the facilities (Fwood and metal divisionl), thus being able to take advantage of a usable area of 3100 m2 that was not being used.
These photovoltaic panels have enabled CO2 emissions to be reduced by 250 tonnes/year, in addition to annual energy savings of around 18%.
It is estimated that the company will recover the entire investment in about 4 years, in a project that took only 2 months to implement.
