Sustainable products and business practices: save energy with solar panels
Our BAC products have always been committed to sustainability. Pool covers reduce water evaporation, thereby lowering the energy needed to reheat the pool. Depending on factors such as pool size, usage frequency and location, pool owners can reduce their energy costs by up to 60%.
And since sustainable products require sustainable practices, we have installed solar panels on the roof of our factory in Ettlingen. From January to September, we generated a total of 400,000 kWh of electricity, thereby improving our ecological footprint. Our CEO, Stephan Kortus, explains: “Investing in our solar system is a win on multiple levels – we reduce our energy costs and contribute to climate protection. The solar system allows us to cover a large part of our own energy needs and, during the summer months, even feed up to 55% back into the public grid.”
The benefits to our company are clear:
- Cost savings through reduced reliance on external electricity
- Planning security thanks to independence from electricity price fluctuations
- Sustainability through an active contribution to climate protection
With this step, we demonstrate that economic efficiency, sustainable products, and ecological responsibility go hand in hand.
