Costa Verde with 3600 photovoltaic solar panels

There are 3600 solar panels that ensure about 25% of the energy needs of Costa Verde, avoiding the emission of 713 tons of CO2 annually, the equivalent of planting 18300 trees per year. Before there was a photovoltaic plant on top of the building, there was a roof made of asbestos cement, a material that contains asbestos, creating a double advantage: the elimination of a substance that is harmful to human health, and the use of the new roof to produce clean, renewable energy.
A "two-in-one" project commissioned by Helexia, whose business model based on the exploitation of the renewable energy produced, allowed Costa Verde (without any investment), to become more energy efficient.
