The solar cells are estimated to produce about 25 per cent of the plant\u2019s annual electricity need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About a year ago, the stampings and bending parts specialist Lesj\u00f6fors Banddetaljer took the first steps in the transition to use fossil-free energy sources. Not only does the plant reduce energy cost, the big gain is the reduced environmental impact. The solar cell plant is an important measure in line with the Beijer Alma group\u2019s sustainability strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe see that more and more industrial companies strive to lower their energy consumption and transfer to fossil-free electricity production. Not many have installed a solar cell plant of our size though in our region, so we are happy for this opportunity,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;says&nbsp;<strong>Marcus Hartvigsson<\/strong>, MD of Lesj\u00f6fors Banddetaljer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ENERGY ANALYSIS SHOWED IMPROVEMENTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The process started with an energy analysis, which resulted in a list of possible improvements that the V\u00e4rnamo site could make to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy cost and consequently reduce environmental impact. The market leading solar power company Swede Energy investigated the conditions and found out that Lesj\u00f6fors Banddetaljer had optimal settings for a solar cell plant on the 7&nbsp;000 square meter rooftop. The process from the energy analysis to an up and running plant was about a year and from Mid-December 2020, the plant is operating as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cost of the whole process was about MSEK 3 (EUR 300&nbsp;000) and the payoff time is estimated to ten years. It is also important to mention the environmental payoff time, which is only 2.5 years. Lesj\u00f6fors Banddetaljer has applied for government grants, which will cover 20 per cent of the installation cost. The plant is estimated to produce about 350 MWh annually, which is about 25 per cent of the total energy consumption. The lifespan of the solar cells is 25 years, which means the plant is a profitable investment as well as an important sustainability measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI know that several companies are following our progress with great interest and hope that many will follow our example\u201d<\/em>, says&nbsp;<strong>Marcus Hartvigsson<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Mid-December 2020, a solar cell plant that covers 5,000 square meters of the rooftop of Lesj\u00f6fors Banddetaljer\u00b4s production facility in V\u00e4rnamo is in operation.
