Fontana Group - where ideas take shape

We're thrilled to announce the installation of our ground-mounted photovoltaic system for one of our plants, covering an impressive 5,000 square meters and boasting a production capacity of over 540 kWp. This strategic and forward-thinking investment underscores Fontana Group's commitment to environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, and social responsibility 🌍 Why did we choose renewable energy? Here are our key motivations: 1. Environmental Impact Reduction: by leveraging solar energy, we significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, contributing to the fight against climate change and preserving the environment for future generations. 2. Energy Independence: producing our own energy reduces reliance on fossil fuels and external energy supplies. 3. Cost Savings: once the initial costs are amortized, solar energy offers substantial savings on energy bills, providing more predictable operating costs for our company. 4. Corporate Image and Social Responsibility: investing in renewable energy enhances our corporate image and demonstrates a tangible commitment to corporate social responsibility. Our photovoltaic plant is a clear testament to this dedication. 5. Innovation and Competitiveness: utilizing advanced technology, such as bifacial monocrystalline panels, highlights our innovative spirit. These panels, with 2.5% higher efficiency by capturing reflected radiant energy, maximize our solar energy harnessing. The transition to renewable energy isn't just a step forward; it's a leap towards a sustainable future, promising long-term benefits for both our company and the community we have served for decades. Join us in our journey towards a greener tomorrow! 🌱 #FontanaGroup #WeAreFontana #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SolarPower #Innovation #CorporateResponsibility #GreenFuture
