MANAMA: The Infiniti Renault showroom in Sitra has become Bahrain’s first car showroom with solar rooftops, thanks to an eco-friendly initiative undertaken by YK Almoayyed & Sons (YKA), in collaboration with the Almoayyed Solar, a division of Almoayyed International Group.
A 346kw carpark solar PV plant on the rooftop of the showroom was commissioned by Almoayyed Solar, an energy service and energy auditing company specialised in improving overall energy performance of commercial, industrial and residential sectors.
The Almoayyed Solar team executed the project on turnkey basis which included design, engineering, procurement and construction, accomplishing the complete scope of the project in-house.
The project represents the first phase of YKA’s energy sustainability plan, as more sites with this initiative are in the pipeline.
This solar plant would help reduce dependency on the EWA grid while generating clean energy all year long.
Reduction of carbon footprint being one of YKA’s main CSR initiatives, the solar carpark will help reduce YKA’s carbon footprint by 326 tonnes every year and over 6,520 tonnes during its design life.
The initiative is also aligned with Vision 2030 that aims to ensure a sustainable and environment-friendly approach to energy and reduction of carbon footprint.
“We are committed to support the country’s shift to clean energy and are proud of our entire team’s efforts on this project. This project is a great milestone and will be a breakthrough for the green energy revolution in the region,” said YKA chairman Farouk Almoayyed.
