Embracing Sustainability in Solar Energy
In a pioneering move, Sunlock, Australia's leading solar mounting manufacturer, has made a groundbreaking shift to using LocAl® Green Lower Carbon Aluminium supplied by Capral. This makes Sunlock the first globally in its field to embrace this eco-friendly material, signalling a major shift towards environmental responsibility.
The Low-Carbon Aluminium Advantage
LocAl®, introduced in November 2022, stands out for its significantly reduced carbon footprint during production. With global average emissions for primary aluminium production at about 16.8 kg CO2e/kg Al, LocAl® Green slashes this by approximately 50%, offering only 8 kg CO2e/kg Al. This reduction is a massive stride in a sector where aluminium is essential yet often overlooked for its environmental impact.
Sunlock's Vision: A Greener Future
Mani Kaparakis, General Manager of Sunlock, emphasizes this commitment: "Switching to LocAl Green provides us with an opportunity to do our bit for the renewables sector." This decision aligns with Sunlock's philosophy of innovation and sustainability, demonstrating their dedication to reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality.
A Sustainable Choice Without Quality Compromise
Despite this eco-friendly transition, Sunlock ensures that the quality and performance of their unique C-Channel Rail design remain uncompromised. LocAl® Green meets all the required standards, ensuring Sunlock's products are suitable for various climates and building types, maintaining their high strength-to-weight ratio.
Setting a Green Example in the Solar Industry
Sunlock's adoption of LocAl® Green Lower Carbon Aluminium is a testament to responsible manufacturing and a step forward in reducing carbon emissions in the solar industry. By choosing to incorporate eco-friendly materials, Sunlock isn't just creating solar mounting solutions; they're leading the charge in building a more sustainable future.
