The solar panel system is capable of pro- ducing 2.5 megawatts of power daily and connected to six Low Voltage (LV) sub- stations located within the plant. These panels are responsible for powering the and warehouse buildings.
The structure includes solar modules, inverters, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), alternating current and direct current cable works, allowing - cumulated power. With this technology in place, Goodyear looks set to reduce its reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Each panel is made of 375W Bifacial Monocrystalline Perc Double Glass Solar Modules, capable of reducing electricity costs. The panels are estimated to reduce 1,980,433.37 kilogrammes of carbon emissions per year across 25 years.
