With the major goal of producing its own energy on site for self-consumption, through Helexia's financing, Soladrilho benefits from a solar power plant with a power of 537 kWp and will be producing annually 832 MWh of energy for use in its production process. This project allows Soladrilho to reduce its energy consumption, which represents about 30% of its cost structure, as well as avoid the emission of 391 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of planting 10 000 trees/year.

Member of the Board of Directors Soladrilho

The photovoltaic plant implemented in our facilities is perfectly aligned with our strategy of an increasing use of clean energy in our production process, allowing in parallel relevant economic advantages.

The implementation of the plant also brought the advantage of improving the quality of life of the employees by replacing the asbestos cement roof of the building.

The turnkey partnership with Helexia has added the necessary investment and allowed us to continue to allocate our resources to our Core-Business.

From needs analysis to implementation, we believe that a decarbonized economy is the path to growth.

Replacement of the fiber cement roof

The Helexia investment also allowed Soladrilho to remove 11,200 m2 of asbestos cement roofing, a material that contains asbestos, and to replace it with a sandwich panel roofing, promoting the elimination of a harmful agent to health.
The entire process of removing and placing the new roofing, as well as the installation of the photovoltaic plant, was possible without any interruption in Soladrilho's production process.
