The Netherlands’ second city in terms of population The Netherlands went through difficult times after the devastating bombings in World War II, and during the reconstruction period.

What we certainly want to show visitors to our booth during the FEDESSA exhibition, this coming fall in Rotterdam, is that sustainable business is a core business for us. Developments in this area are not standing still at USC. Of course, we are happy to help our customers make their operations as sustainable as possible as well.

Solar panels

We offer our customers the opportunity to make smart use of the roof spaces of their container park by installing solar panels. We have prepared ready-made packages for that. Our panels control a micro-inverter, making it easy to connect and disconnect each container and avoiding high voltages.
Even the design of a new container park can already take into account a favorable roof orientation. This is to achieve the highest possible yield from the panels.

The PV panels are a revenue model in themselves and can also be included in a lease offer if desired. In addition, solar panels provide your container park with a sustainable appearance and green image. Ideal if you are looking for a dual earning model. Solar panels can also contribute to a more favorable (NTA) energy label for your commercial property.
