Photovoltaics for the future - own solar power production in Rudolfstetten

Since June 20, 2024, the BWB-Iten AG plant in Rudolfstetten has been producing its own solar power - thanks to a newly installed photovoltaic system on a roof area of around 350 m². The 320 modules installed generate several megawatt hours of electricity every year. On sunny days, the system achieves peak values of over 900 kWh.

The solar system supplies central production areas at the site, including:

– Rectifiers and pumps
– Drying ovens and exhaust air systems
– Compressor for compressed air
– Bathroom heaters
– Charging station for electric vehicles
– All consumers in production

The system currently covers around 30% of total electricity requirements.

Reliable project partner

Alsona AG, a Swiss provider of photovoltaic solutions, supported the implementation of the project from planning to commissioning. Particularly when unexpected challenges arose – such as coordination with the roof renovation – the team impressed with its ability to react quickly and its solution-oriented cooperation with all partners involved.
