Ferrari Photovoltaic System
In its aim to be more eco-friendly, Ferrari has lately installed solar panels on the roof of its Maranello car factory. This move is targeted at enhancing energy efficiency and lowering CO2 emissions by 25-30 percent. The solar panels will produce in excess of 210,000kWh of electricity per year, and will be paired with a power plant that will take care of heating, cooling and electricity from only one fuel source. These new energy-conscious steps will generate sufficient power for most of Ferrari's power requirements.
Besides the 1,075 photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity installed along the south side of the factory, Ferrari has in the past six months also planted over 200 trees around the perimeter of the facility. Technical specifications of the photovoltaic system: ; Installed by: EnerRay ;Type of system: not integrated ; installed on flat roof ; Orientation: SOUTH-FACING ; Number of modules: 1075 ; Module type: 185 Wp Mitsubishi Electric ; Peak power: 198.85 kWp ; Annual electrical output: 213,985 kWh ; Number of inverters: 2 ; Inverter type: Siemens Sinvert Solar 100, master/slave configuration
