Thus, we conducted a study to verify the performance of an installed photovoltaic system. We analyzed the production and performance of the system compared to the data declared by the manufacturer regarding the production and degradation of the photovoltaic panels. At the same time, to assess the performance of panel systems, the main indicator considered when it comes to any sustainability investment is the total cost of ownership ("TCO"). In this way, we can evaluate the performance of an investment from a financial point of view not only from the perspective of the return of investment ("return of investment" / "ROI"). Investigating new methods to streamline the use of renewable energy, in 2022 we researched the applicability of a hybrid photovoltaic system. Thus, in the Brăila 4 store we designed and sized a hybrid photovoltaic system with a total installed power of 157 kWp, which ensures both the production of hot water and electricity. This system has a heat pump as its primary source, thus eliminating the need for a gas-fired boiler to produce hot water. The installed power of the system is given at 131 kWp for the photovoltaic system and 26 kWp for the thermal system.termic. Cumulative amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided due to the use of own photovoltaic panels* (kg) In 2023, thanks to the use of photovoltaic panels, greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to: The greenhouse gases that 4 668 passenger cars emit over 1 year The energy to power 123 168 computers for 1 year The energy to operate a TV for 111 280 372 hours Corbon dioxide 20 674 747 Nitrogen oxide 8 005 Sulphur dioxide 388 CO2 NOx SO2 * cumulative quantities since entering into operation SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PENNY ROMANIA 2023 154/256 MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTORS SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE ABOUT US AND OUR VALUE CHAIN ABOUT THE REPORT THE FUTURE IS MADE TODAY SUSTAINABILITY MILESTONES CONTENTS
