Solar powered logistics and distribution centers for a sustainable supply chain

Logistic Centers

PV-systems “on-top” of your logistics and distribution centers demonstrate your environmental stewardship aspirations and improve your carbon footprint

  • Let your PV-system pay for your roof refurbishment
  • Be tuned to customer requirements for green logistics
  • Source your own clean energy for your electric vehicle fleet

In today’s challenging economic situation, operators of logistics and distribution centers need to meet ecologic requirements, while reducing cost and inefficiency to maintain property attractiveness.

In addition to fuel usage to fulfill physical transportation necessities, the building infrastructure makes up for a large part of energy consumption, while offering enormous potential for carbon emission reduction and contribute to end-customer requirements for green supply chains. Hence industry leaders have turned to meet or exceed green building standards – also taking into consideration the potential risk of tightening building codes. Here, photovoltaics can provide an important contribution.

As traditional PV-systems are often too heavy for low load bearing roofs, the application of PV-systems on logistics and distribution centers has been restricted. To make average large warehouse roofs accessible to PV-energy generation, Solar Integrated has developed various lightweight, easy to install, durable solar solutions based on UNI-SOLAR®’s PV-laminates, which render high energy yields when used in BIPV solution even under sub-optimal orientation and tilt angle.
