Could you briefly introduce your company?

Solarelit Spa, now Solarelit powered by Greenvolt, is a company with extensive experience in photovoltaic systems and energy efficiency. Established in 2005 as a division of Microelit Spa, it became independent in 2007 and has specialised in the photovoltaic field and in asbestos abatement since 2010. In 2023, Solarelit became part of the Greenvolt Group, a multinational group and European leader in renewable energy, operating under the brand “Solarelit powered by Greenvolt”. Greenvolt is working in different areas, such as biomass, wind power, solar energy and storage systems, as well as distributed-generation and energy-sharing solutions. Its mission is strongly oriented towards sustainability and innovation. With over 927 employees in about 18 countries, the Greenvolt Group is expanding rapidly thanks to the acquisition and development of established companies in local markets.
Solarelit powered by Greenvolt has several divisions that offer turnkey solutions for photovoltaic systems, long-term power supply through PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) and support in setting up distributed self-consumption configurations. In addition, the company provides energy-efficiency services and building safety measures, including LED lighting, facades, asbestos removal and Disaster Recovery projects.

Could you give us some details about your stand display?

Our stand display at BI-MU will present advanced photovoltaic solutions, energy-efficiency technologies, as well as our offering of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and distributed self-consumption. We will also show how our solutions integrate with the technologies of Industry 4.0 and we will share insights on future co-operations and projects. Our stand presentation will be interactive and informative, with the aim of creating new partnerships and strengthening existing ones. Our company supports enterprises by providing essential services in a context where EU regulations are becoming increasingly stringent in terms of sustainability reporting.

Talking about the future of sustainability (with specific reference to the machine tool sector): what are your predictions and what will be the next trends? 

The machine tool sector, a high-quality symbol worldwide, driven by strong innovation, is heading towards a future, when energy efficiency, circular economy, digitalisation and decarbonisation will be at the heart of companies’ strategies. These changes will be driven by innovation, regulations and an increasing demand for green solutions, especially in light of the strict regulations imposed by the European Union with regard to sustainability reporting and ESG indices. At Solarelit powered by Greenvolt, we are the ideal partner. As part of the Greenvolt Group, one of the most influential players in the market, we offer an innovative approach to meet the new needs of the market, acting as a single point of reference for a mix of sustainability solutions.
