Investment in green energy For this project, with a guaranteed yearly yield of 340 000 kWh ‘green electricity’, or an average consumption of some 115 households, Meli invested 1 736 000€. The electricity is used immediately. The project is ludicrace, also because we received 'greenstreem-certificates' of our government. Always good weather of green power The cells make sure that Meli can count on green power the year through. - In winter… - In summer the installation makes a high yield because of more hours of light. Also ligth falls on the panels in a straight angle, which improves the yield. - Of the 100 % energy we get from the sun, 42 % is in summer, 25 % in autumn, 8 % in winter and 25 % in spring. The installation of solar panels also diminishes the CO2-discharge with 106 tonnes a year. For a better environment This project with solar panels fits in with the global environmental policy of MELI. In this policy, MELI gives attention to product, services or realisations, that have a positive contribution to the environment. This means that on the field of production, recycling and processing of waste, energy, we have: - respect for water; - respect for air; - respect for earth; - attention for diminshing of noise; - attention for the ecology, safe environmental town and country planning.
