What will you be financing?

This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption in a restaurant called "O Casarão" in Leiria, Portugal. 

At Casarão, you can find a long list of traditional dishes, desserts and Portuguese wines. The space is prepared for various family or professional occasions and offers a selection of specific Menus for Weddings, Business Events, and Christening, among others.The installation and operation of the solar panels will be carried out by Solcor Portugal, a company specialising in the development and operation of photovoltaic solar installations.

The 202 panels of 550W installed will have a power of 111.1kWp, leading to an estimated 42% of electricity self-sufficiency directly from the solar installation and resulting in a cost reduction of around 60% annually. 

This is Solcor's seventh campaign. The six previous campaigns financed solar energy for social organizations: Social Solar Solcor, Social Solar Solcor II, Social Solaor Solcor III, Social Solaor Solcor IV, Social Solaor Solcor V, Social Solaor Solcor VI.

What is the impact?

Direct 

  • Contributing to decarbonizing the economy by avoiding the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of over 176.8 MWh annually, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of more than 24 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to planting 1101 trees. 

  • Cost reduction for the final client: the energy production for own consumption will reduce energy costs, enabling the elderly home to direct resources to its core activity. The decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the consumption site, helps to avoid distribution costs, making this a more competitive option than reverting to the national grid. Furthermore, the decreased dependency of the organisation on the national grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.
