With a projected 60% rise in electricity demand in Europe by 2030, manufacturers are increasingly adopting solar energy solutions to secure reliable energy. Wewise is assisting businesses in transitioning to on-site solar power and storage, which helps stabilize costs and mitigate grid dependency.

This strategy allows manufacturers to generate electricity during the day and sell excess back to the grid, thus increasing revenue. Recent projects include the CITBA Group in France, which installed a solar system that meets 72% of its energy needs, and SEW-EURODRIVE in Germany, which reduced CO2 emissions by 1,541 tonnes.

In the UK, Carlisle Brake & Friction implemented a 500 kWp rooftop solar system to cut electricity costs. These initiatives highlight solar energy's role in driving sustainability and operational performance in manufacturing.
