photovoltaic farm
In the city of Pomarance, in the Tuscan countryside, where sweet hills and cultivated fields alternate with silvery green of the olive trees, a new photovoltaic system has recently become operative: it is built on a pergola structure well integrated with the pleasant surroundings.
The 4,65 kWp plant produces 5.600 kwh per year of electricity that is used by the owner, Angelo Bianchi, who has been devoting to the cultivation of organic products for forty years.
The clean energy of the PV systems, combines well with farming; together they represent a model of sustainable development that enhances the land, respect the delicate ecosystem of the Tuscan countryside and the ethics and aesthetics of the environment.
The plant was built by the Florentine Eluxenia srl (www.eluxenia.com) who took care of the architecture and the integration environment; it avoids 4.500Kg of CO2 per year emissions, brings a saving of 1.5 tonnes of oil annually and has a restricted cost: the investment in photovoltaic systems depreciates in a relative short number of years (five to eight). It is an example of good practice, sensible choices, in the complex relationship between man and nature, between technology development and conservation of environmental assets.
A Photovoltaic System is profitable in terms that you can have back from 12% up to 15% of the cost per Year; you can install it without costs thanks to our Bank partners financial support, and will pay the System through hire purchases, earning for 20 years by the selling of energy and avoiding the payment of bills of use.
