With an eye towards sustainability, Behn Meyer Thailand had recently outset its journey to use green energy by installing sun-powered panels on its warehouse building.

The solar panel installation, which started in September 2021, took almost two months to be set up, and the whole project was officially completed on 11th December 2021. The maximum electrical output that can be generated by these solar panels is at 237.6 kWp.

As electricity is typically generated by using fossil fuels (i.e., coal) which have limited sources, this shift to an alternative energy source is an optimal choice, given that sun’s energy can be used indefinitely without diminishing its future availability.

According to the World Green Building Council (2019), buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of the world’s carbon emission, with operational emission (from energy used to heat, cool and light buildings) accounting for 28%. Therefore, by converting to solar power and reducing our carbon footprint, we hope to play a part in combating climate change.
