Within the industrial area of Trento, the capital of the Trentino-Alto Adige region in Northern Italy, which has a strong manufacturing presence, GETEC has developed a partnership with the SEPR plant, part of Saint-Gobain.

The surroundings are conducive to the development of sustainable energy solutions, with approximately 2,800 hours of sunshine per year. The initiative aims to harness the local solar potential while reducing emissions associated with the site's energy consumption.

Saint-Gobain is recognised as a global leader in light and sustainable construction, thanks to its ability to design, manufacture and distribute advanced materials and solutions for the construction and industrial sectors. Its solutions are applied across buildings, transportation, infrastructure and a wide range of industrial environments, contributing to improved performance, comfort and sustainability, while addressing challenges related to decarbonisation, resource preservation and urbanisation.

To maximise the plant’s energy performance, GETEC implemented a diversified technical solution leveraging multiple installation surfaces, achieving a total installed capacity of 2.3 MWp: 1,450 kWp installed on ground-mounted systems, 565 kWp installed on building rooftops and 285 kWp integrated into carports and canopies. This configuration optimises all available surfaces, ensuring efficient and consistent energy production.

Following its connection to the grid in the second half of 2025, the plant reduced CO₂ emissions by more than 250 tonnes in the remainder of the year. At full capacity, it is expected to deliver annual reductions of approximately 745 tonnes of CO₂.

The project is based on a 20-year on-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model. GETEC acts as a fully integrated energy partner, taking responsibility for both plant and energy management, supported by a performance guarantee expressed in €/MWh. The agreement includes ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, as well as continuous technical support, ensuring long-term cost stability and maximum operational efficiency for SEPR.
