ENGIE, Solarge, and SABIC are collaborating on an innovative 2.4 MW photovoltaic installation at SABIC’s site in Genk, Belgium. This project features 100% circular solar panels, lighter and sourced from materials by Solarge in the Netherlands, produced with SABIC’s input. These circular photovoltaic panels consist of backsheets with SABIC® PP compounds that are already recycled, and offer a 50% weight reduction and a reduced CO2 footprint. This is the first facility of its size utilizing this panel type. The installation is projected to produce approximately 2,000 MWh of green electricity annually, catering to the needs of approximately 667 families. SABIC intends to utilize 97% of the electricity generated, covering about 5% of its energy requirements at the Genk site and avoiding the emission of 800 tonnes of CO2 annually. The panels are said to be suitable for various roof types and recyclable after 25 years.
