Bedford
Unaffected by energy prices thanks to a canopy with solar panels
Want to go for green energy with a solar panel array? It’s a smart investment that will free you from rising energy prices. If you’re already using all the roofs of your buildings, however, it’s easier said than done. Find out how the family company Bedford got a quick return on its investment with solar canopies by Frisomat.
A covered car park with a solar array for quick returns
Bedford is a family company in Osnabrück, Germany. It has set the standard for fine sausage and ham products for more than a century. But Bedford is definitely moving with the times. The company has been looking for green initiatives to free it from its dependence on rising energy prices and fossil fuels, which is why it wanted to install solar panels.
It would not be easy, because the roofs of Bedford’s buildings are already covered in supply lines and cooling pipes. So installing a solar panel array would involve considerable stability challenges. In consultation with Sideka, its trusted contractor, Bedford opted for a steel structure made by Frisomat on which it could fit solar panels after all.
Sustainable canopy with double added value for Bedford
As a result, the German family business killed two birds with one stone. It had a canopy built for its 2500 square metre car park. This canopy protects its employees’ and customers’ cars from the sun and rain. But moreover: the canopy’s solar panels have made Bedford genuinely energy efficient. As the company say themselves, the project went smoothly, without a hitch. Frisomat’s sustainable solution in galvanised steel has delivered them an attractive return on investment in no time at all.
