At the Vercar industrial site in Castelfranco Veneto, Italy, rooftop solar has become a core part of the company’s operational strategy. By installing a 97,76 kW photovoltaic system using 208 AIKO Neostar 470 W N-Type ABC modules, the factory has transformed limited rooftop space into a high-efficiency energy asset that supports both cost reduction and long-term sustainability objectives.

“We chose AIKO modules because they combine the highest efficiency with excellent reliability, ensuring maximum energy yield on our rooftop. The project allowed us to drastically reduce our energy bills and improve our environmental profile,” commented Vercar spokesperson Carla Trevisan.

The system is expected to generate approximately 107,500 kWh in its first year and 3.05 GWh over a 30-year lifecycle, supported by a low annual degradation rate of 0.35%, with on-site generation now enabling Vercar to reduce its annual electricity outlay by some €45,000.  

AIKO’s ABC technology is particularly suited to industrial rooftops where space efficiency, long-term reliability and predictable performance are critical.

Company CEO Franco Bolzon added: “Since the installation, the AIKO system has exceeded our expectations. The energy output is higher than anticipated, and our electricity bills have dropped by more than 40%. The modules are extremely reliable, and we are fully satisfied with the performance and the partnership.”
