Description

Established in 2019, Nevergreen Ltd. initially specialized in the maintenance and upkeep of green areas hosting photovoltaic power plants. In 2021, the company expanded its core services by venturing into the manual cleaning of solar panels.

The primary objective of this project is twofold: to enhance Nevergreen Ltd.''s competitive position and to boost the company''s turnover and net operational profit. The innovative green solution introduced by the company is a two-component technology designed for deep cleaning of solar panels. Nevergreen Ltd. aims to be the first enterprise in Bulgaria to apply this comprehensive cleaning technology to photovoltaic modules, offering a unique service in the growing PV plant market. This technology''s main advantage is its remarkable ability to improve solar panel and photovoltaic productivity by up to 20-25% after thorough cleaning.

The introduction of this panel washing methodology streamlines the cleaning process, resulting in substantial emission reductions. The project carries significant environmental benefits, including an estimated annual reduction of CO2 emissions/equivalents by 3,506 tons, the annual collection of 0.75 tons of waste for re-use or recycling, a decrease in annual energy consumption by 20.2 mW, and a reduction in annual fuel consumption by 1,300 liters of diesel. This initiative is a pioneering leap into sustainability, enhancing both economic and environmental dimensions for Nevergreen Ltd.
