When we talk about clean energy, the American companies Tesla or Apple, among many other large companies, come to mind, and it is that they continue to add money, research and development to maintain a balance between the planet and energy production.
In this case SEAT takes its chest out of its 53.000 solar panels that have an area equivalent to 40 football fields. With this deployment of solar panels, the Spanish company produces more than 17 million kWh per year, energy that would allow charging 3.000 mobiles a day or supplying a population of 15.000 inhabitants. This type of solar field is expected to increase over the months, but even so it seems little.
The planet's resources are depleted
This is not something that only the experts say, and it is that in a short time we are consuming most of the energy resources that the planet has and if we do nothing to change the trend in a few years we can have a very bad time. More and more companies and multinationals are betting on clean energy and this benefits the planet and ultimately all of us who live on it. The installation of Seat with 276.000 square meters of panels Helps reduce pollution by removing nearly 4.000 tons of CO from the atmosphere2per year.
The electrical energy generated by this amount of solar panels is later reused in the factory and represents 6% of the total energy required by Martorell. In fact, this energy has made it possible to produce 67.000 cars since the installation was commissioned.
903 minutes of sun. That is the light that will have the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere of the planet. On June 21, the summer solstice takes place, a phenomenon that begins the three months of the year with more hours of clarity and heat. Spain and southern Europe enjoy between 2.500 and 3.000 hours of sunshine per year, a source of energy that SEAT collects thanks to one of the largest photovoltaic plants in the automotive industry. The energy produced in this field would serve to charge around 3.000 full smartphones per day for a year. We have to put the batteries and continue working and betting on this type of clean energy in our country and throughout the planet since they offer the possibility of saving money and taking care of the planet.
