But Shinefar Solar is not only a producer of solar panels, it is also a user of solar energy. The factory roof has 6 MW of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solar panels, all of which are produced by the factory itself. The roof solar panel brackets also contain Shinefar Solar's proprietary patented technology, which enhances the stability and durability of the system.

The BIPV system generates about 10.8 million kWh of electricity per year, which is equivalent to about 5 million yuan in electricity bills. This means that Shinefar Solar can save a lot of money on its energy costs, while also reducing its carbon footprint.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the life-cycle carbon emissions of solar PV are about 41 grams of CO2 equivalent per kWh of electricity generatedhttps://news.climate.columbia.edu/2022/10/26/solar-panels-reduce-co2-emissions-more-per-acre-than-trees-and-much-more-than-corn-ethanol/. This is much lower than the emissions of fossil fuels, such as coal (820 grams) and natural gas (490 grams)https://www.iea.org/reports/solar-pv-global-supply-chains/executive-summary. By using solar energy, Shinefar Solar can avoid emitting about 8,200 metric tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to planting over 135,000 trees.
