According to recent news from the Nissan Motor Corporation, the automaker recently flipped the switch on a commercial rooftop solar system at one of its plants in Amsterdam.Â

The 9,000-panel system is expected to produce enough renewable electricity to power up to 900 households a year. It will also significantly reduce the Motor Parts Centerâ€™s CO2 output (up to 1.17 million kilograms of CO2 per annum) and produce almost 70 percent of the plantâ€™s annual energy demand. A portion of the electricity generated will also feed directly into the countryâ€™s national grid.Â

In the press release, Francisco Carranza, Managing Director at Nissan Energy, said that the brandâ€™s investment in new energy solutions is a cornerstone of Nissan Intelligent Mobility. According to Carranza, the solar project is also a clear demonstration of how the company strives to transform the way the global community drives, but also lives.Â

This latest project follows another Nissan renewable project that saw the creation of a three-megawatt storage system using second-life and new electric vehicle batteries, like those found in the Leaf. It went live this past summer in the Johan Cruijff Arena, which is the Netherlandsâ€™ largest stadium. You can read about the project here.
