Naps Systems will deliver Finland’s largest solar electric installation to a chemical plant in Lempäälä

Naps Systems Oy will deliver Finland’s largest grid-connected system to Kiilto’s chemical plant in Lempäälä, two times the size of so far largest grid connected installation in Finland, also delivered by Naps in year 2000 in Lielahti near Tampere. The Lempäälä turnkey system will be installed in October this year.

Installed on the roof of Kiilto’s chemical plant, the grid-connected solar power system operates in parallel with the factory’s conventional electricity supply, thus reducing the company’s electricity bill. The 66kW nominal peak power system will produce approximately 60.000 kWh yearly, the equivalent of over 300 office rooms' lighting, which will reduce annual carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emissions by almost 60.000 kg. This means that during its 35 years expected lifetime, the system will produce approximately 2.000.000 kWh of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2.000.000 kg.

Integrating clean energy sources into its production processes is Kiilto’s measurable way to combat global warming. Kiilto is already well-known in the chemical industry as a forerunner in environmental and safety issues, developing chemicals without solvents and production processes that fulfill the strictest indoor air quality regulations..

Kiilto, a Finnish family-owned chemical company, was founded in 1919. Its main business is the production of glues/adhesives and other industrial products such as varnishes, waterproofing membranes, fillers etc. Kiilto has offices in Finland, Sweden the Baltic countries, Poland and in other Eastern European countries.
