Solar Powered
Effective in 2022, our fabric mill is now powered by a hybrid energy system of 1,550 solar panels. Located in Weihai, a coastal city known for its blue skies and low cloud coverage, these newly installed solar panels harness the sun’s energy and fully power our mill when the sun is shining.
The infrastructure is designed to capture maximum sunlight to harness into an energy source. With power shortages faced throughout China, this hybrid system provides a clean and reliable energy source for the mill to operate.
The energy sourced from our solar panel fields will lead to annual green effects that minimize our impact on the planet.
Green Effects
The impact of our solar powered mill:
- Reduced COâ‚‚ emissions by 1,072,488 kg
- Reduced deforestation by 59,160 trees
- Reduced coal consumption by 430,288 kg
