Pfefferkorn commissions 749-kWp system

With a 749 kWp photovoltaic system, the industrial company Pfefferkorn is consistently focusing on self-generated power and saving around 350,000 kg of CO₂ annually. Learn how the combination of a modern rooftop system and e-mobility is sustainably minimizing the Simmern site's ecological footprint.

Clean energy has been flowing from the roofs of Pfefferkorn in Simmern since the end of September 2022. The new 749-kWp PV system was implemented together with CUBE CONCEPTS and has been reliably supplying low-cost solar power ever since. A good 3,700 square meters of 2,204 solar modules were installed on the production halls in the weeks beforehand.

An important contribution to environmental protection

"This is the next logical step for our environment," says a delighted Ralf Gabler, Managing Director of Pfefferkorn. "We can use around 450,000 kWh directly in our buildings and also feed around 210,000 kWh into the public grid. We are thus making an important contribution to environmental protection," says Gabler. The photovoltaic system alone now saves the company 350,000 kg of CO₂ every year.
