This Good Practice (GP) addresses the issue of improving the carbon neutrality of a broiler farm producing about 380.000 medium-heavy broilers per year, that installed in 2012 a 50 kW power photovoltaic system, 90 m2 large, on the shed roof.
The shed roof was renovated too with new corrugated sandwich panels, including 15 mm thick polystyrene layer in between.
Size, location and exposition of the photovoltaic system must be considered carefully to maximize the energetic and economic benefits.
There is no risk involved in adopting this good practice; however, the farmer recommends a fire insurance policy that guarantees the replacement value of the insured property.
