Lisheng Group’s rooftop distributed solar project has connected to the grid and entered operation. Using idle rooftop space on workshops and warehouses, the project installs photovoltaic modules whose electricity is used first for production, with surplus fed to the grid — a key initiative in the group’s green, low-carbon manufacturing.
According to project engineers, once in operation the solar system can supply several million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity each year, cutting carbon-dioxide emissions accordingly and noticeably raising the share of clean energy used on site and the green-energy level per unit of product. During the summer peak, solar output also eases workshop electricity pressure and lowers overall energy costs.
In recent years overseas buyers increasingly value suppliers’ sustainability and carbon performance, and green-energy use is becoming a plus for Lisheng in winning international orders and OEM business. Some brand clients already include clean-energy use and carbon-footprint management in their supplier audits — a trend the solar project fits well.
A group spokesperson said grid connection is only the first step in building a green factory; the group will go on to advance water-saving upgrades, waste-heat recovery and refined energy management, gradually turning Lisheng into a green, low-carbon demonstration factory it can showcase to clients.
