The primary part of the undertaking will embody 250,000 m2 industrial parks, with a complete set up of 40MW of industrial-scale photovoltaics (PV) utilizing SolarEdge inverter expertise (equal to 2-4MW per location).
With every PV set up offering unbiased onsite vitality era for ELI industrial parks, the corporate will profit from elevated grid independence and energy high quality, whereas a major discount in electrical energy costs for ELI park tenants – particularly vital as a consequence of present vitality disaster in Europe. Switching to photo voltaic can even cut back the carbon footprint of ELI’s operations.
“This partnership displays our technique to develop a sustainable portfolio that can permit our tenants to cowl a minimum of 30 p.c of their consumption from inexperienced vitality,” stated Andrei Jerca, Managing Director of Factor Industrial.
“That is additionally an vital dedication from our facet in the direction of inexperienced, sustainable logistics that can create long-term worth for our traders and occupiers. Our technique is constructed on specializing in the wants of our shoppers in by way of enterprise predictability, reducing occupancy prices, supporting their development technique, and growing actual enterprise communities in our industrial parks.
“Our partnership with TESLA 50Hz is a pure one as each corporations share the identical enterprise rules and strategies,” he added.
T50Hz is accountable for the design and set up course of, whereas additionally managing the facility provide of every PV energy plant. The installations can be supported by T50Hz’s sister firm, TESLA Blue Planet.
This collaboration brings collectively the engineering groups of each corporations to optimize the development of buildings for straightforward PV rooftop set up. Importantly, it reduces the price and time of constructing photo voltaic installations, whereas making certain greater system security and operational effectivity.
To help this, all installations can be outfitted with SolarEdge’s new DC-optimized expertise. SolarEdge energy optimisers join every pair of photo voltaic modules, making them sensible modules.
By consistently monitoring the utmost energy level of every module, the facility optimisers enhance the vitality manufacturing of the system and cut back the ROI of the system, whereas additionally making certain the bottom doable value of operation and upkeep (O&M ) all through the lifetime of the system.
As security can be an vital facet of SLI, SolarEdge expertise can be chosen for its superior security options to make sure the very best stage of security for individuals and property.
“We’ve been within the renewable vitality sector in Romania since 2010 and at present have 900MWp of floor mount and rooftop installations both in operation or beneath improvement.
“Serving to drive this development is our dedication to working with new expertise suppliers, comparable to SolarEdge, to ship high-quality, turnkey PV initiatives that ship the very best worth in prospects all through the lifetime of their installations,” stated Dušan Lichardus, Chairman of the Board of TESLA Group.
“For instance, for industrial property builders like ELI, maximizing energy era to make sure the most effective financial savings for tenants is a non-negotiable, and due to this fact entry to new SolarEdge energy optimization expertise is crucial.
“By combining its capabilities with the vitality administration system, TESLA AMOS (superior microgrid optimization system), we will present operational management on the particular person panel stage, resulting in greater manufacturing, decrease OPEX , longer lifetime of the expertise, and highest business security requirements to. the asset house owners.”
