Giant solar energy panels put to good use
Titan International, with the assistance of Malta Enterprise and European Union (EU) funds, will be making use of 26.4 kilowatt photovoltaic panels, the largest on the island, to generate about 4,000 kilowatt-hours and reduce 35 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions every year.
Titan International, a part of the Mizzi Organisation, specialises in mechanical and electrical services, including air conditioning for the domestic and commercial sectors.
Titan International said it is expanding to solar water heaters, photovoltaic panels, solar under floor heating and micro wind turbines.
With the price of oil destined to reach $200 (€127.49) a barrel within the next 12 months, Titan International's management said it believes that the government needs to give more incentive to the introduction of photovoltaic panels with the aim of each house having them on the roof.

Well done Titan. Hold on. What is the turnover of the Mizzi group in €€€€? What is its carbon footprint? How does a saving of 3.5 tons (well pointed out Mr Fenech) of CO2 compare with all emissions from the group? AND what percentage of the group's annual profits would the cost of the 'giant' panels equate too.
Publicity stunt? Let the readers decide.
By the way 35 Tons of CO² equate to 40,588 Kwh per annum. Energy generation from our plants release 0.878 Kgs CO² per Kwh. I think it should read 3.5 Tons CO² per annum.
