Solar energy

Solar power plants are a good way to save costs as well as to provide a way of consuming environmentally friendly energy consumption for businesses and homeowners alike.

Solar energy is one of the cleanest and cheapest forms of energy production – it does not cause air pollution or produce greenhouse gases

Solar energy production

Uses for solar energy

Solar panels are used to produce solar energy, which capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity or heat.

Solar energy in Utilitas

Solar energy plants partially cover the electricity needs of our energy production units and additionally produce green electricity for the grid.

Benefits of solar energy in our region

Easy to install

A solar power plant is the easiest-to-install solution for local electricity needs and reduces the environmental footprint of industrial or office buildings.

Increases productivity

Increasingly higher outdoor temperatures increase the need for electricity in the summer to cool buildings, and the abundance of sunny days increases boosts the productivity of solar panels.

Affordable

The reduction in the price of solar panel technology has made it affordable and accessible to more and more businesses and homeowners.
