STP Shipyard Palma has activated a new solar power installation integrated into the carports of its recently developed parking area, providing clean, renewable energy for the shipyard’s own operations. The project forms part of the yard’s long-term commitment to reducing its environmental footprint and strengthening its sustainable energy model.
The installation comprises 420 high-efficiency solar panels, each with a capacity of 660 W, strategically positioned to optimise electricity generation. The power produced is channelled through two 115 kW inverters and fed directly into the shipyard’s low-voltage network, supplying on-site activities with green energy.
The system is expected to generate approximately 373,630 kWh per year, corresponding to a reduction of around 102.2 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, marking a significant step in lowering the environmental impact of the shipyard’s industrial operations.
To further enhance efficiency, STP Shipyard Palma has installed four battery storage modules on the quay, providing 774 kWh of total capacity and 400 kW of grid injection power. This allows excess solar energy to be stored and used during peak demand, reducing dependence on fossil fuel generators.
The project was co-financed by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU programme under Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. With this new installation, STP Shipyard Palma continues to lead in sustainable energy integration within the yachting industry.
