Investments in clean energy rank among the most sustainable there are. EVVA has set up its own photovoltaic (PV) systems at several locations in order to generate part of its energy requirements itself.

Photovoltaics EVVA Vienna

The 705 solar panels now installed on the roofs of the headquarters supply EVVA’s main production facility with environmentally friendly energy. We started with 340 panels in 2013. As part of the roof renovation programme running until 2027, further panels are planned; in 2025, 165 modules with a capacity of 75.1 kWp were already added (above the assembly halls and the mechanical engineering department).

Our solar panel system therefore generates a total of around 230,000 kWh per year. The panels have a total capacity of 235.7 kWp (160.6 kWp plus the new ones at 75.1 kWp), which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of around 65 private households (assuming 3,500 kWh per household per year). EVVA's solar power system was a pioneer in the district, and many neighbouring companies have since followed suit by installling 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 output than the older ones, as PV technology has advanced considerably.

• Photovoltaics cover approx. 5% of EVVA Vienna’s electricity requirements. This allows us to maintain the base load in the event of a total power failure
   
• Our PV system saves us around 40,000 euros per year in energy costs, and saves the environment 50 tonnes of CO₂ emissions

Photovoltaics EVVA Tišnov

The new PV system at EVVA’s production site in Tišnov, Czech Republic, came into operation at the start of 2026 (Photo: Lunek). It generates 80% of the energy required using environmentally friendly solar power. The 181 solar modules have a total output of 99.55 kWp (= approx. 100,000 kWh). To put this into perspective, this corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of around 25 private households (assumption: 3,500 kWh/year). With this expansion, EVVA has achieved an important sustainability goal. 
 

Photovoltaics EVVA Italy

Our subsidiary in Villorba, Italy, was renovated in 2013, and a PV system has been generating clean energy on the rooftops ever since. 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 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 generates around 80% of the energy requirements," explains Arno Scholten from EVVA Netherlands.

Here comes the sun! The EVVA Group’s photovoltaic system generates a total of around 420 kWp of energy.
