Name
Community solar power plant
country
Slovenia
Goal
The first solar power plant GEN-I Sonce in a multi-apartment building with 23 apartments has 36.7 kW of power and will produce 37,000 kilowatt hours of green electricity annually. At the annual level, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17 tons, and will enable annual savings in electricity consumption of more than 4,500 euros. The power plant is designed in a way that allows the vast majority of the produced electricity to be consumed by the residents themselves, and only a small part is returned to the grid. The owners of the € 36,400 investment, which will be repaid in full in seven years, will cover most of the energy needs in the building with their own production.
