Bright Sunday empowers FedEx Express with Solar PV System at Madrid Barajas Airport.

FedEx is live with a solar PV system on their roof at their brand new cargo center of Madrid Barajas Airport.

FedEx decided to get solar energy via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Bright Sunday. They will now receive clean, renewable energy directly from a solar PV system on their roof. And this without the need to make any investment for the solar PV system. 

FedEx just pays for the electricity. This way, FedEx can focus on its core operations while simultaneously reducing its carbon emissions and energy costs.

Bright Sunday takes care of everything from system design, installation, monitoring, cleaning, service and insurance. FedEx just pays for the electricity. This way, FedEx can focus on its core operations while simultaneously reducing its carbon emissions and energy costs.

The solar PV system will generate  approximately 95 megawatt hours of electricity annually. This output will cover an estimated 17% of the energy needs of the premises, contributing to reducing dependency on conventional grid power and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Bright Sunday collaborates with trusted partners for design and installation. The installation at FedEx was done in close collaboration with Ruano Energía.
