Solar power

The MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS GROUP had the huge roof of the “Packstofflager II” packaging materials storage in Hüffenhardt fitted with solar panels when it was built in 2015 in order to generate some of the electricity itself.

Why not use something which is there anyway?

Covering a total surface area of 714 m², the solar system allows the power of the sun to be utilised wisely since the radiant energy of the sunlight is converted directly into electrical energy by means of photovoltaics.

The energy obtained in this way is fed into the electricity grid and is used wherever it is needed. This means that less electricity has to be purchased and the company can cover some of its electricity requirements with its own solar power. Systems and machines consume huge amounts of energy during the production processes.

Even though the quantities produced vary greatly due to the weather, solar power still makes a significant contribution when it comes to meeting our total requirements – from a practically inexhaustible source of energy.
