After Solar Power Panel Expansion Earlier This
Year, Piana Technology is Now Raising the Bar for Clean
Manufacturing in America
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Dec. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Piana Technology, the
442-year-old Italian-made textile company renowned for its
innovations in the fiber and nonwovens markets, proudly announces
it has offset its energy consumption at its Nonwovens facility in
Cartersville, GA by 100%. Piana
Technology's expanded solar panel system has made it possible for
its Nonwovens facility to operate at net zero energy.
PIANA TECHNOLOGY ACHIEVE'S NET-ZERO ENERGY
CONSUMPTION AT NONWOVENS FACILITY, FULFILLING BRAND PROMISE
"This is an exciting milestone for our ongoing sustainability
goals, and it will set a new high bar for all of our manufacturing
facilities," said Andrea Piana, CEO
of Piana Technology. "At Piana, we always consider the environment
and our impact in everything we do. We know we're creating a
blueprint for other companies and manufacturers to follow. This is
the future. You can do it better and do it greener."
The expanded photovoltaic (PV) system became operational this
month. With two additional upgrades, Piana Technology's grid
electricity consumption is now offset by 100%. Any solar
overproduction is fed back into the city's grid, contributing to
the local energy supply. The two expanded systems add an extra
1,244,564 kWh per year to the facility's production capability.
This will enable the company to avoid an additional 920 tons of CO2
emissions per year, equivalent to the carbon sequestration of 250
acres of trees.
Piana Technology collaborated with Southern View Energy, a local
solar electrical design and installation company, to bring this
project to fruition. Their careful design and construction of this
project was a massive boon towards the company's sustainability
initiatives.
