Sotécnica performs the electrical installation of a Self-consumption System

Renewable Energy is an inexhaustible source of energy, but it varies according to the atmospheric conditions and the energy source used: solar, wind, hydro and geothermal.

Being Portugal a country with ideal conditions for the implementation of this type of energy, there were several energy policies that encouraged the implementation of renewable energies in households, increasing their dissemination significantly, both in the business and residential sectors, through the Self-consumption System installation.

The self-consumption System enables it to produce its own energy locally and contribute directly to the reduction of the electricity bill.

Self-consumption System preferentially produce electricity to meet consumption needs. The energy produced is consumed instantly, thus reducing the power purchase from the grid. The use of the energy produced by the photovoltaic system in the electrical installation occurs only when there is consumption. Surplus energy is injected into the utility grid.

Sotécnica’s Maintenance Area (AMT) performed the electrical installation of a photovoltaic plant with more than 3,700 modules in an industrial unit in the municipality of Ovar. This Self-consumption System has a power of 1.0 MWp, with an estimated output of over 1.35 GWh / year.

It is also performing the electrical installation of a photovoltaic plant with more than 1500 modules in an industrial unit in the municipality of Matosinhos. This Self-consumption System has a power of 400 kWp, with an estimated output of over 600 MWh / year.

In these Self-consumption System, Sotécnica is responsible for the assembly of the entire electrical installation.

It is also conducting the electrical installation and assembly of panels of a photovoltaic plant with more than 4.000 modules in an industrial unit in the municipality of Vila Velha de Rodão, Portugal. This Self-consumption System has a power of 1.1 MWp, with an estimated output of more than 1.5 GWh/year.
