Rooftop solar provides significant benefits to the beverage industry, including reduced energy costs, enhanced sustainability credentials, and improved energy independence by utilizing large, unused roof spaces for on-site renewable energy generation.
The Meeco Group’s solar strategy and energy solutions address high energy expenses, meet consumer and regulatory demands for environmental responsibility, and offer long-term cost certainty. The beverage sector, as a large energy consumer, is uniquely positioned to benefit from sun2roof® solar systems and sun2safe® storage, particularly in facilities with substantial energy needs like cold storage, processing, and filling plants.
meeco Rooftop Solar Solutions — Key Benefits
Cost Savings: Reduces electricity bills by offsetting grid energy with cheaper, self-generated rooftop solar power, leading to long-term savings and increased profitability.
Sustainability & Brand Image: Lowers a company’s carbon footprint and demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and helping meet net-zero goals. Companies can leverage their rooftop solar adoption to attract customers by highlighting their commitment to sustainable practices.
Energy Independence & Reliability: Provides on-site power generation through rooftop solar installations, reducing dependence on the utility grid and ensuring operational continuity, especially during peak demand or power outages. In addition, surplus power can be stored in sun2safe® energy storage systems for use during production peaks.
Monetizing Unused Space: Transforms large, typically unused rooftops into valuable assets for energy production. Even roof surfaces unsuitable for classic photovoltaics can be used effectively with thin-film rooftop solar modules.
Predictable Energy Costs: Locks in predictable energy rates for the system’s lifetime, improving financial forecasting and budgeting. Rising grid energy costs can be mitigated by combining rooftop solar with sun2safe® storage systems, enabling peak shaving without production restrictions.
Perfect Fit for the Beverage Industry
Beverage manufacturers and distributors often operate in large buildings and facilities with ample roof space—ideal for large-scale solar installations. For decades, The Meeco Group has engineered and implemented PV and storage systems to make energy cost reduction a significant financial advantage for energy-intensive processes such as refrigeration, brewing, and filling.
Cold storage facilities, for example, which operate 24/7, are prime candidates for rooftop solar power to offset substantial refrigeration energy costs.
The Meeco offering includes sun2roof® solar PV panel systems, top-tier modules, rooftop PV mounting structures, inverters, and sun2safe® battery storage solutions to maximize savings and reliability. System performance can be ensured through planned maintenance, regular monitoring, and thermographic analysis.
Flexible Financing Options
Meeco’s financing models include upfront investment, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and other tailored financing solutions to make solar adoption accessible and cost-effective for beverage companies.
