This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for the Humanitarian Association of Firefighters of Amadora, a nonprofit fire and emergency services organization with more than 120 years of service to the community.

The Humanitarian Association of the Amadora Volunteer Firefighters was founded in 1905 and is the only firefighting corps in the city of Amadora. With around 176.000 inhabitants in an area of just 24 km², surrounded by the main access roads to Lisbon with heavy daily traffic, it is the Amadora Firefighters whom the population - and everyone passing through the city - rely on for assistance and rescue. Their mission focuses on protecting people and property, providing aid to the injured and the ill, and extinguishing fires, maintaining to this day a humanitarian and solidarity‑driven approach.
The contract signed between Solcor Portugal and the association includes the installation of a 93,22 kWp solar photovoltaic system for self-consumption, composed of 158 panels (590W each), two inverters, DC and AC equipment and accessories, monitorization equipment, and a support structure. It will enable the production of over 125 MWh of clean energy per year and 40% energy self-sufficiency. This guarantees a reduction of 48% in electricity costs. The project also includes the safe removal of asbestos from the existing roof and its replacement with a new, safer structure.

The installation and operation of the facilities will be installed and operated by the campaign promotor: Solcor Portugal, a company specializing in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic installations.
Direct
Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 125 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of more than 13 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 624 trees.
Cost reduction for the end customer: decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the place of consumption, helps to avoid distribution costs, this being the most competitive option. In addition, the company's lower dependence on the national grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and tax charges.
Improving the health and well-being of workers: the removal of the asbestos roof at the factory has direct health benefits for everyone who works in the building. The use of asbestos in buildings has been banned in the European Union since 2005 and its presence has been associated with cases of cancer and other lung diseases, due to the inhalation of its fibers. The removal of asbestos from the roof must be performed by technicians and specialized companies so that safety is guaranteed.
Indirect
Improvement of the organization's core services: the cost reduction in electricity expenses enables the Firefighting Association to improve their services for the community.
