Ferrari is to build a new photovoltaic system on the roofs of its Maranello factory buildings. This will expand its independent energy production while further reducing its CO2e emissions. Ferrari is taking one more step on the path to carbon neutrality alongside Enel X.

Ferrari has teamed up with the Enel Group, taking their partnership to the operational phase by installing the first of the system’s four sections. There will eventually be 3,800 solar panels, supplying a  maximum of 1,535 kWp.

18,500 tonnes of CO2e over 740 tonnes per year.

The latest installation expands Ferrari’s existing solar grid 200%. These supplied 3 TJ of energy last year.

Enel X developed an off-grid energy production system for the site. This one-off unit will be used to  charge Ferrari hybrid models at the Company site. This station has its own 5.5 kWp photovoltaic system with double-sided panels, and 20 kWh worth of battery storage. The performance is monitored by the Energy Management System, displaying real-time data on the built-in LCD screen.

“Together with Enel X and our other partners, we are developing new solutions that will contribute significantly to reducing CO2e emissions – said Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari – The challenge of becoming a carbon neutral company by 2030 is a further stimulus for Ferrari to innovate in every area, taking a scientific, holistic approach to the sources of emissions: from the cars in use, to our supply chain, and our production activities.”
