Investments in clean energy rank among the most sustainable in the world. EVVA has set up its own photovoltaic (PV) systems at several locations in order to generate at least a part of its energy requirements.
Photovoltaics EVVA Vienna
The 705 solar panels on the roofs of the headquarters have been supplying the EVVA main production facility with environmentally friendly energy for many years. In 2013 we started with 340 panels. Further panels are planned after the roof renovation in 2027.
Our PV system generated 156,670 kWh (160.6 kWp) in 2024, which is the equivalent of approx. 45 households consuming electricity annually (assuming 3,500 kWh per household per year). EVVA photovoltaics is a pioneer in the district, and many local companies have followed suit and also installed their own systems. The expansion of the headquarters in Wittmayergasse in Vienna was completed in 2021. A photovoltaic system has also been installed on this new building over the maximum possible roof area. These new panels have 50% more performance than the older ones, as PV technology has evolved a lot.
- Photovoltaics cover 3% of EVVA Vienna’s electricity requirements. This allows us to maintain the base load in the event of a total power failure. The assembly of the access solutions can also be continued manually for a period of time
- Our PV system saves us around 30,000 euros per year in energy purchasing and the environment 35 tonnes of CO2 emissions
Photovoltaics EVVA Italy
Our branch in Villorba, Italy, was modernised in 2013, and since then a PV system has been performing its valuable service on the rooftops. It delivers 38,000 kWh per year.
Photovoltaics EVVA Netherlands
The PV system at the EVVA site in Hengelo has been in operation since December 2019. The 180 panels provide a total output of around 50,000 kWh (2024) and thus cover a large part of the subsidiary’s energy requirements. "At the end of 2019, we restructured our EVVA Netherlands building and also invested in photovoltaics. The installation provided 63% of our energy requirements in 2024," explains Arno Scholten from EVVA Netherlands.
Here comes the sun! The EVVA Group’s photovoltaic system generates a total of around 250 kWp of energy.
Fulfilment date: 2025
How: EVVA is currently planning a photovoltaic system at another site, in Tišnov, Czech Republic. A new building was constructed and opened in 2021. The PV system is now expected to provide a significant part of the required energy.
Positive impacts: The site is expected to be able to generate 100 kWp of electricity itself.
