11 Orlen stations powered with sunlight

Under a pilot project, Polish refinery giant has installed  photovoltaic modules on 11 selected petrol stations in Poland. Electricity generated from sunlight will be used for the needs of those facilities, the company said on Thursday. PKN Orlen wants to check the ecological and economic effectiveness of photovoltaic modules as renewable energy sources in different locations across the country.  Thanks to data obtained, the company will identify the conditions for cost-effective use of  photovoltaic modules "on a wider scale" on gas stations, as well as on other buildings with an appropriate roof structure in locations that guarantee good levels of sunlight.
