Powering Greener Manufacturing: Beckmann-Volmer Completes Phase II Solar PV Project
Release time:
2026-11-11
Summary
Total Installed Solar PV Capacity Approximately 2.2 MW Towards Cleaner Energy and Sustainability
In November 2026, the Phase II project successfully completed commissioning and grid acceptance, marking another milestone in the company's efforts to optimize its energy mix and advance sustainable manufacturing.
Solar panels have been installed on the rooftop of the company's main production facility. The system operates on a self-consumption with surplus electricity fed into the grid basis, with generated electricity prioritized for on-site manufacturing operations.
Together with the 1.2 MW Phase I installation, which began operating in 2022, the two projects bring the company's total installed solar PV capacity to approximately 2.2 MW, further expanding the use of renewable energy across its manufacturing operations.

▎ Integrating Renewable Electricity into Manufacturing Operations
Metal structural component manufacturing involves several energy-intensive processes, including welding, cutting, machining, and surface treatment, all of which require a reliable and continuous electricity supply.
Beckmann-Volmer's manufacturing site covers approximately 67,000 square meters , with extensive factory buildings and suitable rooftop space for distributed solar installations.
The daytime solar generation period aligns well with the company's production hours. With both solar PV projects in operation, renewable electricity is increasingly integrated into daily manufacturing activities, supporting welding, CNC machining, and other production processes. This helps reduce a portion of purchased grid electricity, optimize the company's energy mix, and contribute to lower operating energy costs.
▎ Reducing Carbon Emissions and Improving Environmental Performance
Based on estimated equivalent solar utilization conditions in Qingdao, the two solar PV projects are expected to generate more than 2.5 million degrees , which can save standard coal annually Approximately 1,007 tons , reduce carbon dioxide emissions Approximately 1,196 tons , the emission reduction effect is equivalent to planting trees Approximately 1,635 trees 。 (Note: These figures are project estimates. Actual electricity generation and emissions reductions will depend on operating performance and the applicable calculation methodology.)
Estimated annual power generation Approximately 250 Ten thousand degrees
Standard coal savings Approximately 1007 ton
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions Approximately 1196 ton
Equivalent to planting trees Circa 1635 tree
The project represents a practical contribution to renewable energy adoption and the reduction of emissions associated with manufacturing operations. Beckmann-Volmer continues to monitor energy consumption, advance carbon accounting, and strengthen environmental management by integrating renewable electricity use into its broader operational practices.
▎ Green Manufacturing: An Increasing Priority in Global Supply Chains
As global manufacturing supply chains accelerate their transition towards lower-carbon operations, international customers are looking beyond product quality, delivery performance, and cost when evaluating suppliers. Energy sources, carbon emissions, environmental management systems, and sustainability performance are increasingly important considerations in supplier assessments and long-term supply chain partnerships.
Beckmann-Volmer continues to advance its EcoVadis-related initiatives, carbon accounting, and renewable electricity use, integrating environmental management into its business operations. The expansion of rooftop solar power not only supports manufacturing operations with cleaner electricity but also provides a stronger foundation for improving the company's environmental performance.
Looking ahead, Beckmann-Volmer will continue to focus on energy efficiency and environmental management, taking practical steps towards greener manufacturing and creating long-term value for customers and business partners.
