A new photovoltaic system for Sofidel America in Circleville, Ohio
Another step in Sofidel’s energy transition journey: a new photovoltaic system has become operational at the Sofidel America facility in Circleville, Ohio, USA.
Installed on the roof of the reel warehouse built as part of the facility’s recent expansion, the system consists of 8,010 photovoltaic panels and has a total installed capacity of 4.65 MW. During the first six months of 2026, it helped avoid approximately 1,084 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
