Photovoltaic system at ChemCon GmbH
For more than 10 years, ChemCon has been supplied with electricity by a photovoltaic system on the branch office used as office and warehouse in Freiburg i. Br. The system was connected to the grid in January 2010 and has been generating electricity that is fed into the grid ever since. The photovoltaic system is designed as a 25.2 kW peak system. As of March 2023, the average amount of electricity generated is as follows:
Average per day: 76.70 kWh
Average per month: 2.361,80 kWh
Average per year: 27.994,87 kWh
Total output from Jan. 15, 2010 (start of recording) to March 31, 2023: 369,839 kWh.
Assuming that one kWh means approximately the saving of 627 g CO2, approx. 232 t CO2 were saved during the operation of the ChemCon photovoltaic system.
