STP Shipyard Palma has installed a solar power plant on the carport structures of the shipyard’s new parking area, an infrastructure designed to generate renewable energy and bolster the sustainable energy model that the shipyard has been implementing across its facilities for years.
The installation consists of a total of 420 solar panels, with a unit power of 660 W, built into the structure of the carports with an optimal inclination to maximise electricity production. The energy generated is channelled through two 115 kW inverters and fed directly into the yard's low-voltage network, powering its operations with clean, on-site electricity.
This solar installation is expected to generate 373,630 kWh annually, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 102.2 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. This is a significant advance in the reduction of the environmental impact associated with the shipyard's industrial activity.
To complement its solar power generation, STP Shipyard Palma has installed four battery modules, located on the quay, providing a total storage capacity of 774 kWh and a grid injection power of 400 kW. This system stores surplus solar energy for use during periods of higher demand, maximising the value of the renewable power generated on site.
With this storage system in place, the shipyard can manage peak electricity demand, significantly cut its reliance on fossil fuel generators and enhance the energy efficiency of its operations, all underlining its commitment to reducing emissions.
The project was delivered with the support of European Union funding through the NextGenerationEU programme, under Spain's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, which promotes projects aligned with energy transition, decarbonisation and the deployment of clean energy within the industrial sector.
With this new installation, STP Shipyard Palma continues to advance the integration of sustainable energy solutions across its facilities, championing a model of responsible growth aligned with its sustainability objectives and with the current and future energy needs of the yachting industry.
