Self-consumption photovoltaic facility

Self-consumption photovoltaic facility to meet the energy demand of the building located in the Finsa factory in Padrón. Its purpose is to provide greater energy independence, reducing energy costs by no longer consuming part of the energy from the grid and reducing energy transmission losses by decentralising electricity generation. The ultimate goal is also to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The solar photovoltaic system will consist of 5,228 monocrystalline silicon panels of 54 Wp each, giving the facility a peak power of 2,823.12 kWp. The panels will be located in three different areas: roof, silo wall and parking area. In the first two areas, the panels will be connected on concrete supports. In the parking area, they will be mounted on canopies made of galvanised steel to which the panels will be fixed in a coplanar manner. In all areas, the panels shall be arranged horizontally in rows and columns forming tables with different numbers of panels in each row and column. The facility is covered by the ‘self-consumption without surplus’ modality approved in Spanish Royal Decree 244/2019, which regulates the administrative, technical and economic conditions for the self-consumption of electrical energy.

The operation of the plant will allow a reduction of 1,062.45t CO2/year.

The investment is carried out in the Finsa factory in Padrón, as part of the incentive programme 2 linked to self-consumption and storage in the service sector and in other productive sectors, within the framework of the European Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union — NextGenerationEU.
