903 minutes of sunlight. That’s how much light the longest day of the year will have in the northern hemisphere on the planet. The summer solstice takes place on 21 June, and signals the beginning of the three months with the most daylight and highest temperatures. #spain and southern Europe enjoy between 2,500 and 3,000 sunlight hours annually, a source of #Energy that #Seat harnesses thanks to one of the #automotive industry’s largest photovoltaic plants:

- A photovoltaic plant measuring 276,000 square metres: With an extension equivalent to 40 football fields, the company inaugurated a total of six photovoltaic plants in 2013 with more than 53,000 solar panels. Located on the roofs of the workshops and the temporary finished vehicle holding area, this facility has generated more than 112 million kWh since it was put into operation.
