What will you be financing?

The aim of this campaign is to fund two photovoltaic plants for self-consumption at the Praia da Rocha Club, Portugal’s largest condominium located at Praia da Rocha beach in Portimão, Algarve.

The Praia da Rocha Club was built in 1986 and renewed in 2005. The property is located 10 kilometers away from the Alcalar Megalithic site. It was recently converted to housing, being the largest condominium in Portugal, with 627 apartments. The photovoltaic modules will be installed on the roof of two of the hotel group buildings, through a gravity installation without the need for drilling, maximizing the existing space in order to reduce the effects of shadows caused by the equipment installed there, as shown in the image below.

The plants will have a total installed power of 46 kWh, producing an average of 82.3 MWh of clean energy per year.

SOLVASTO, a Portuguese energy services company, will be the promoter of the project, as well as the owner of the panels during the first years. In addition to this, it will ensure the installation and operation of the plant.

What is the impact?

Direct:

  • Contribution to the decarbonisation of the economy: with an estimated production of 82.3 MWh of clean energy per year, the two solar plants will avoid the emission of 16.7 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to the CO2 absorption capacity of 759 trees.

Indirect:

  • Raising awareness about sustainability in the community of owners, tourists, workers and customers.

Economic development and ecological preservation shouldn’t have their back turned on each other, we should face the future with the opposite perspective if we want a future at all! Goparity allows that.
