Sun and Cooling - the best combination in the Free Own Generation (FOG) solution

Sun and Cooling or solar station + cold storages is the best combination in the Free Own Generation (FOG) solution. This is about using electricity from a locally installed solar station that is connected to the internal grids of the company that owns the freezing warehouses.

Why is the FOG business model an ideal solution for “cooling” producers?

It’s all about the “natural” synchronization of electricity production and consumption schedules. What are we talking about? In summer, daylight hours are longer, so solar power plants generate more electricity. At the same time, it is in summer that refrigeration and freezing units consume the most electricity compared to winter. Thus, the peak electricity consumption of refrigeration units naturally coincides with the peak electricity generation schedule of solar power plants. This combination significantly saves electricity costs for this type of enterprise.
