Photovoltaics to strengthen MERCI's energy self-sufficiency
At MERCI, we are committed to developing the company in a long-term and sustainable way. Our priorities are production stability, quality for our customers, and responsibility towards the environment in which we operate.
That is why we are adding a photovoltaic power plant to our production site. This step will bring several concrete benefits:
- reducing electricity consumption from the grid,
- strengthening our energy self-sufficiency,
- limiting the impact of fluctuating energy prices,
- reducing the carbon footprint of our operations.
For us, photovoltaics are not a one-off investment but part of a broader strategy that combines technological development, responsibility, and long-term stability. Just as we focus on safety and quality when designing laboratories, this project is also about creating a solution that will serve the company for many years.
This step follows our previous significant investment in our operations - two years ago we equipped our production hall with new technologies worth tens of millions of CZK. As a result, our production is faster, more precise, safer, more economical, and also more environmentally friendly. The photovoltaic power plant further strengthens this direction.
The principles of reliability and preparedness that we apply in our laboratory projects are also reflected in the way our company operates. Thanks to photovoltaics, our site is more resilient to outages and price fluctuations - just as we design laboratories for long-term and stable operation.
Our employees thus work in an environment that is stable and forward-looking. This is important to us not only from a production perspective but also from the perspective of corporate culture - we at MERCI strive to be a reliable partner for our customers and at the same time a fair and modern employer.
Support of the European Union
