An intact world, an intact nature and a pure environmental thought should be the greatest concern of every single person on this earth.
In 2016, the first photovoltaic system was installed on the roofs of SEMA. The new production hall followed in 2018. From this point on, almost 200 employees are working on almost 12,000 m² of work space. Not only additional jobs were created, but also the foundation stone for a company that will gradually dedicate itself to the environmental idea. With this 1st step in this direction, we succeeded in producing our own electricity with our own photovoltaic system on our roof. With 90 kWp at peak times, it feeds about 15% into our in-house power supply and saves us a lot of electricity costs. In the years before, SEMA hardly used any fossil electricity and has been using 100% green electricity for several years now. Time to take this idea further and expand it again. We are continuing to expand our photovoltaic system and would like to put it into operation in the spring of 2022. Our entire plant will then produce so much electricity that we will be able to cover a large part of sustainable electricity supply.
With 500 kWp, we cover approximately 60% of our total consumption.
SEMA and its environmental philosophy go much further. Sustainability and resource reduction have been at the top of the agenda for more than 15 years:
