"Our idea was to make a facility that is unique at regional level, a building that will be energy independent and that will receive all the energy it needs to conduct its business from renewable sources. We wanted to show a practical example of what we otherwise recommend to our customers and associates", Radeljić explains.

Finding an alternative to obtain energy from a renewable source in a location without proper infrastructure is one part of this innovative endeavour. The second part is that Zoran found a way to use the sun’s energy to produce heat and electricity both at night and in winter. Namely, the most heating energy is produced during the summer when consumption is low. Seasonal reservoirs to store this energy were made in the plant, enabling the functioning of the supply system during the winter.

"Water is the reservoir fluid; it is heated throughout the year and used in winter to heat the facility through floor heating", as Zoran Radeljić explained.

The local community will also benefit from Zoran’s business.

"Based on an agreement we made with mechanical engineering high schools and the Belgrade Faculty of mechanical engineering, we are ready to educate people whose jobs are tied to energy production from fossil fuels so they can be requalified and reoriented towards jobs such as solar system mounters, programmers, and engineers who could do projects", Radeljić said.

These people will then be able to work installing solar panels, installing solar thermal panels and other green energy and green economy jobs.
