Sodimac Quillota Solar Project

Project Overview

Sodimac developed a comprehensive environmental management program, which includes various energy-related changes and modifications to achieve a more friendly environmental footprint.

This solar project sources more than 60% of its energy from renewable sources, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of 600 houses. The company has installed in 49 stores the photovoltaic systems with a goal in 2030 of all the stores using solar energy as the main source of power. UCansteng provided the structural peer review of the solar panel supports, cable trays, and the structural assessment of the existing roof to resist the new loads.
