Italian photovoltaic module manufacturer, FuturaSun, has launched the world’s first Carbon Neutral photovoltaic module, the FuturaSun Silk Plus, at the Intersolar event in Munich. The photovoltaic industry plays a significant role in global decarbonisation efforts, with photovoltaic modules generating more energy in their lifecycle than is used in production. FuturaSun, committed to environmental sustainability, has measured the carbon footprint of its Silk Plus 400-410 Wp panel and decided to take action to offset these emissions. The company is supporting a carbon credit project that aims to build an aqueduct in Kenya, supplying drinking water to around 50,000 people in Siaya County. Previously, the lack of drinking water in the area resulted in health problems and deforestation due to inefficient boiling methods. By providing a sustainable water supply, the project contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including access to drinking water, improved economic conditions, and gender equality. The aqueduct project is certified by the Gold Standard and is expected to generate around 15,000 carbon credits per year for 15 years. FuturaSun’s Silk Plus Carbon Neutral module, which offers high energy efficiency and guaranteed performance, includes a calculated carbon footprint and offsets residual emissions through the certified project. FuturaSun aims to provide customers with a photovoltaic module that meets the highest standards of social and environmental sustainability, promoting a cleaner and greener future for all. This innovative carbon neutrality project demonstrates FuturaSun’s commitment to reducing emissions and supporting sustainable development.
