In 2017, Villach basked in 850 hours of sunshine, earning the title of the sunniest
city in Carinthia. Just three years later, in the spring of 2020, it proudly
boasted one of Austria's most sustainable car dealerships. The automotive
industry is changing, this fact can no longer be denied. The fact that this
situation also poses major challenges for car dealerships is easily lost in today's
media hype. One car dealership that is unimpressed by this is Autohaus Wiegele in
Villach. The VW, Audi and Seat dealership has stood for handshake quality and
reliable service for decades.
With the help of MOON, 644 photovoltaic modules with a total output of 199.64 kWp
were installed. The PV components were set up with a special aluminum construction
and weighted and secured against lifting or shifting by means of stone slabs. The
optimal angle of inclination of the PV panels differs depending on the compass
direction. The service staff conscientiously took this into account and installed
the modules accordingly. Thus, the car dealership is expected to produce around 210
MWh* per year. Assuming that an e-car consumes 20 kWh per 100 km, this means green
electricity for a range of over 1 million km per year. An impressive value.
From the approval of the building project, to the planning of the project, to the
installation of the PV systems, MOON stood by the car dealership Wiegele with
advice and support. "Everything from a single source," says Head of MOON Robert
Steinböck. "That is the MOON philosophy."
