Brasol has completed the installation of a solar energy system in Siemens’ istrative buildings in São Paulo. The initiative reinforces the company’s Anhanguera Green & Digital project, which includes a showroom for sustainable solutions and smart buildings.
The project, which consists of 476 modules installed on the roofs of two buildings, covers a total area of 1.200 m² and managed to generate approximately 300 MWh in the first year of operation. This represents around 10% of the total energy consumption of the buildings, resulting in significant savings in electricity costs.
In addition, the initiative will help avoid the emission of approximately 25,5 tons of CO₂ per year, aligning with Siemens' decarbonization goals and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable practices and the transformation of the country's energy economy.
The project was developed under the “As a service” model, in which Brasol assumes all the initial investment and operational risks. Siemens, in turn, acquires the right to use the infrastructure through a 20-year lease agreement, at the cost of a monthly payment.
This model not only eliminates the need for initial investment by Siemens, but also ensures a significant reduction in energy costs, allowing the company to focus on its core operations while Brasol manages the implementation and maintenance of the system.
“The project at Siemens is a clear example of how solar energy generation is an economically viable and sustainable solution, which brings a significant reduction in energy costs for Siemens and is fully connected with the company's commitment to decarbonization,” said Rafael Brasiliense, Commercial Director at Brasol.
"The energy generated by the system is consumed instantly, resulting in immediate savings on the energy bill, without the need for any initial investment by the customer. In addition, Brasol offers continuous monitoring and maintenance of the system, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety for the customer," he highlighted.
For Luis Mosquera, Vice President of Legal, Government Affairs & Sustainability at Siemens, the partnership with Brasol reinforces the company's commitment to promoting sustainability and energy efficiency through innovative technologies and solutions.
“The installation of the solar energy system is another important step in Siemens’ Anhanguera Green & Digital project. Brasol’s project was integrated with Siemens’ existing intelligent systems, enabling real-time monitoring of energy consumption and generation. This integration highlights the synergy between the two companies and contributes to maintaining the ISO 50.001 energy efficiency certification,” he highlighted.
Siemens Anhanguera Green & Digital
Located in an area of 45 square meters of biodiversity, the Siemens complex on the Anhanguera Highway has an intelligent infrastructure focused on energy efficiency, safety and security. The project, called Anhanguera Green & Digital, stands out for two main points: technological innovation and socio-environmental commitment.
The site brings together several solutions that the company offers to the Brazilian market for sustainable buildings, in addition to housing a Digital Experience Center (DEX), a center of innovation and technological solutions for the industry, open to customers, partner companies, schools and professional training entities.
This is also the only Siemens headquarters in the world located in an urban green area and has a guided tour program aimed at students. This environmental education project, in addition to valuing the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest reserve — where it is possible to observe marsupials, birds, squirrels and 25 species of trees — teaches good environmental practices, such as recycling, reusing waste, preserving the environment and conserving water resources.
Several systems monitor energy consumption, air conditioning temperature control and water flow, among other indicators related to well-being in the environment.
All of this is managed by an intelligent, open, cloud-based and interoperable platform that controls every detail of the operation. Thanks to this technology, employees from anywhere in the world can identify problems and the local team directly to make quick and effective decisions.
