In Spain, where sun exposure is one of the highest in the European continent, VSL’s factory in Barcelona, has turned to photovoltaic energy to help reduce their electricity consumption and C02 emissions. A total of 320 solar panels were installed in April 2022 on the roofs of the factory for self-consumption.


This installation is bringing a saving of electricity from grid of 225 MWh/year, representing 16% of the total consumption of the year. After 7 months, 8,800 kg of CO2 have been saved over 55 tonnes annually emitted for electricity consumption.
