Tod’s expands solar power drive
Italian luxury fashion house Tod’s has expanded its use of solar energy with SolarEdge rooftop installations on its headquarters and its manufacturing facility in the Marche region, Italy, totalling 740 kWp and powering around 80% of daily energy use.

Tod’s installed its first solar panels in 2017 on a production facility in Arquata del Tronto, which was used to aid economic recovery following a powerful earthquake in the region. 

The company also recently installed a new solar installation at its Montecosaro site , a further 106 kWp of solar energy.

Simona Cattaneo, general manager at Tod’s Group, said: “By producing and consuming renewable solar energy, we are reducing our dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating the business impact of fluctuating electricity prices, while making the best use of our buildings to produce the levels of energy we need.”
