The Mugello Circuit, in collaboration with the Pramac Racing Team, is choosing the path of renewable energy A 252 kWp photovoltaic system has been installed on the roof of the Ferrari-owned venue’s main grandstand. Carried out by Energy Resources SpA, the project ensures an annual production of approximately 300,000 kWh, equivalent to 20% of the circuit’s overall requirements. The installation used 2,016 Pramac photovoltaic modules (MCPH P7), along with Power One 100 and 165 kWp inverters. Eighteen rows of 125 kWp framed thin-film modules have been mounted on the 2,911 square-metre grandstand, for a total of 2,016 panels. Through this project, the racetrack will reduce its CO2 emissions by 211 tons per year. “This sends a clear message,” said Mugello Circuit CEO Paolo Poli, “that it’s possible to do top-level motorsports while fully respecting the environment. With this investment, we continue a journey embarked upon some time ago that has led us to certification of conformity to the ISO 14001:2004 law.” Paolo Campinoti – Pramac Racing Team Principal “Once again, Pramac distinguished itself for the ecological sustainability that has characterized our company for a few years. It’s a honor as the MotoGP Green Energy Team, contribute to environmental. We will completely avoid CO2 emissions, and we will lower the enviromental impact, all for the love and respect of our planet. We are very glad about this initiative, which was prepared thanks to the support of Energy Resources.”
