Johannes Hübner Gießen plans and installs its own photovoltaic system

As of 23rd June 2010 solar power will be generated on the roof of the recently extended and officially opened production facility.

The "Renewable energy" department at Johannes Hübner Gießen recently installed a photovoltaic system comprising 89 photovoltaic modules with a total power output of more than 17 kW. That means that in addition to the wind turbine already in operation on the company grounds Johannes Hübner Gießen now generates about 20% of its energy requirements from renewable energy. The calculated reduction in CO² emissions is approx. 10 t per annum.

By utilising poly crystalline and mono crystalline photovoltaic modules as well as aligning the modules differently towards the sun this environmentally friendly power generation system serves simultaneously as a testbed and reference for similar customer projects.

A solar thermal system has also been integrated to provide warm water. Johannes Hübner Gießen also employs a "mix" of renewable energy sources for a range of other products, such as the newly developed mobile energy container.
