After achieving economic independence,Infomaniak<\/a> also wants to become self-sufficient in terms of renewable energies, the Geneva-based web technology developer<\/span> announced<\/a> in a press release<\/a>. “We want to install a new solar power plant every year in order to cover 50 per cent of our annual electricity consumption ourselves by 2030,” Boris Siegenthaler, founder and strategic director of Infomaniak, is quoted as saying. Infomaniak is working with the internationally active solar manufacturer Meyer Burger<\/a> from Thun to realise its plans.<\/p>\n

As a first step, Infomaniak has commissioned two solar plants from Meyer Burger with a total of 1085 modules. They produce around 400,000 kilowatt hours of solar power per year, which is consumed directly at Infomaniak. A further system with 364 modules is planned for this year.<\/p>\n

Meyer Burger has the modules developed in Switzerland manufactured at its plant in southern Germany. Compared to modules manufactured in Asia, they have a significantly lower CO2 footprint due to short transport routes, a local supply chain and production using only renewable energy. “Generating solar energy in our latitudes with Asian solar modules makes no sense these days in terms of efficiency and carbon footprint,” says Siegenthaler. He points out that mineral resources have to be extracted for import and production. “That’s why local manufacturers should be favoured who keep their impact as low as possible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
