Learn more about the project

We have signed an operating lease with Argos Surface Technologies for the design, permitting, construction and commissioning of a 1,928kW photovoltaic system at their Gonzaga plant in the province of Mantua, Italy. The PV system will enable them to meet approximately two-thirds of their annual electricity needs with 100% renewable energy.

What did our intervention include?

We took care of both the design and the preliminary and executive engineering of the plant, which consists of 4,396 photovoltaic modules, 36 inverters, low and medium voltage switchboards, two LV/MV transformer substations and a Power Plant Controller, supplied by Energy Team, a company that is part of our group and an Italian leader in energy monitoring and efficiency.

We have also installed, at our own expense, the roof access and handling safety equipment (guardrails and safety nets) on the entire 23,000 square metre area. This is a very significant and challenging project for us, as it is the largest system currently in operation and our first mixed roof and ground system, installed on a very large roof with varying slopes.

They say about us

We are very pleased with this collaboration, which has enabled us to actively
participate in the energy efficiency process. By integrating processes with an
ESG perspective into all our business operations, we are committed to
contributing to a more responsible and sustainable future.”
