Solar Panels Installed On The Slopes Of Barbaresco

The system has been designed to blend in perfectly with the local architecture and the surrounding landscape. Particular attention has been paid to the visual impact of the installation, part of which is fitted over the estate's car parking area, to ensure that it harmonizes with the adjoining facilities and environs.

Enerqos has announced the commissioning of its installation at the Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy vineyards in Barbaresco, located in the Piemonte region of north-western Italy. The installation has already begun producing "clean" electricity, which the estate uses in the production of one of Italy's most prestigious wines.

The Cisa Asinari estates are made up of three holdings which have been in the Di Gresy family since 1797.

"For us, choosing to install a photovoltaic system was both a practical and a symbolic step", said Marquess Alberto di Gresy, "thanks to this structure, we have brought our electricity costs right down. We have made a very good investment, and at the same time we are sending out a positive image to people who care about the future of the planet."

The system has been designed to blend in perfectly with the local architecture and the surrounding landscape. Particular attention has been paid to the visual impact of the installation, part of which is fitted over the estate's car parking area, to ensure that it harmonizes with the adjoining facilities and environs.

This completely integrated installation has also received the largest financial grant ever provided by the Conto Energia (the fund which provides subsidies to promote clean energy in Italy) for a photovoltaic project.

"We at Enerqos are very proud of this particular installation, as it has been achieved in part using our car-park roof solution, Solar Parking. Car-park roof-mounted solutions are a very interesting segment for photovoltaics, one which we believe will show outstanding growth", said Giorgio Pucci, VP Sales and Marketing and co-founder of Enerqos.

"It's easy to see the possibilities such an approach offers, and to imagine the potential for similar installations at supermarkets, warehouse centres, car breakers yards, etc." The system is installed on the wooden roofs of the parking areas and the porch of the estate building, and has a maximum output of 50kWp.
