Solaric has completed a 785 kWp rooftop solar installation for Unilever Bangladesh. This project aims to reduce industrial carbon emissions by integrating renewable energy directly into the company's manufacturing operations. The initiative highlights a growing trend of corporate sustainability in Bangladesh, where industrial players are adopting onsite clean energy to improve energy efficiency and lower their reliance on the traditional power grid.

Solaric just put up a 785 kWp rooftop array for Unilever in Bangladesh. It is a straightforward industrial solar play to cut emissions.

785 kWp is a decent size for a rooftop, but I wonder about the actual offset. Do they have any storage on site or is this just direct consumption during peak sun?

Rooftop solar is the lowest hanging fruit for these plants. The real question is the roof structural integrity and the maintenance plan for cleaning panels in that climate.

Interesting to see Unilever pushing this. I wonder if this is driven by internal global mandates or if there are local Bangladeshi tax incentives making the payback period attractive.
