A positive environmental contribution since the inception

At SOLAR FOREST, we take pride in offering sustainable solutions that significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions right from their construction phase.

Discover SOLAR FOREST​

We select local wood,

sourced from sustainably managed European forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This wood is harvested with respect for the environment, contributing to biodiversity preservation and sustainable forest resource management.

Steel comes from open-pit mines,

often located in remote regions. Mining destroys landscapes, contaminates soils, and causes irreversible damage to surrounding ecosystems. The environmental impacts are significant, affecting local fauna and flora.

Our loggers work in harmony with nature,

carefully selecting trees for cutting to minimize impact on the forest. Each tree cut is replaced by new plantings, ensuring the forest's sustainability.

Steel extraction requires the use of large and polluting machines, 

that intensively and indefinitely dig into the soil. These machines emit substantial amounts of CO2 and other pollutants, contributing to environmental degradation.

Wood is transported short distances, 

because our sawmill is located in the heart of our forests. This proximity significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation, thereby limiting pollution.

Steel mining requires long and complex transportation routes,

the ore is often transported by trucks from the mine, then by road and sometimes by sea before reaching its destination. Each step of this transport process generates significant pollution.

Wood is processed using a high-precision robotic electric line, 

optimizing each tree trunk to maximize resource utilization. This method reduces waste and the ecological footprint of production.

Steel preparation involves blast furnaces, 

that consume large amounts of energy and emit greenhouse gases. The shaping processes are also highly polluting, further contributing to negative environmental impacts.

Wood structures continue to absorb carbon, 

even after cutting and installation. Wood actively contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, promoting a healthier environment.

Steel structures continue to emit carbon, 

throughout their lifecycle. Unlike wood, steel does not contribute to CO2 absorption, and its environmental impact remains negative.

Quantifying Carbon Storage

Our wooden structures are designed to store a significant amount of carbon.​

For every MWp installed, our SOLAR FOREST structures store approximately 70 tonnes of CO2, whereas a conventional 1 MWp solar structure emits about 36 tonnes of CO2.

By choosing our wooden solutions, you actively contribute to offsetting the carbon emissions of your solar project. Wood reduces and stores CO2, providing an ecological and sustainable option for your solar installation.

Our Commitment

Positive Impact of Construction

The wooden structures we offer provide a positive carbon footprint from their very construction. 

Indeed, trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as they grow, producing oxygen (O2) and storing carbon in their cells.​

By choosing wood for our solar structures, we extend this natural carbon storage process, significantly contributing to reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, while promoting an environmentally friendly solution.
