Solar PV System for a Logistics Hub in Bologna
350 kW installed on the roof and €62,500 in annual energy savings, with a system sized for a self-consumption ratio of 95% of the energy produced.
THE CHALLENGE
A logistics property requires a constant consumption of electricity for lighting, goods handling, and the operation of service systems. In facilities of this size, energy costs represent a significant component of the operating expenses incurred by the tenant.
The property, a real estate fund, was looking for a solution capable of permanently reducing such costs, limiting exposure to energy price volatility and without basing the economic sustainability of the project on incentive mechanisms. The objective was to carry out an intervention capable of self-financing over time, thanks to the savings generated by the energy produced and self-consumed on site.
THE Technologies
- Solar PV C&I
The solution
Enerqos managed the entire project, from the consumption analysis phase to the design and construction of the system up to its commissioning. The work was carried out on the roof of a fully operational building.
The system sizing was developed based on the site's consumption profile. In a Grid Parity project, this aspect is crucial: in the absence of incentives, the economic value of the energy produced depends mainly on the share of self-consumed energy compared to that fed into the grid.
- 350-kW Solar PV system with monocrystalline silicon modules
- Installation on inclined structures in the flat portions of the roof between the barrel vaults
- Optimized sizing to achieve 95% of the self-consumption energy produced
The Results
The system covers a significant share of the site's electricity demand with self-produced energy, structurally reducing the property's operating costs. For a real estate fund, the benefit is twofold: lower energy expenses for the tenant and an asset with better environmental performance, factors that impact the property's valuation and its attractiveness in the leasing market.
- 350 kWp of rooftop solar PV capacity installed
- Approximately €62,500 in energy savings every year
- 210 tons of CO₂ emissions avoided every year
- 95% of the energy produced is allocated to self-consumption
- Return on investment generated by lower energy costs, without incentives
- Lower exposure to electricity price volatility
