Alight and Lear Expand Solar Partnership in Spain and Poland

Alight is expanding its onsite solar partnership with Lear Corp. through new behind-the-meter solar projects at Lear’s European Electronics headquarters in Valls, Spain, and at two Lear manufacturing facilities in Bieruń and Tychy, Poland.

At Lear’s site in Valls, Alight has commissioned a new solar carport system covering approximately 400 parking spaces.

The Valls project has expanded an existing solar installation delivered by Alight and has more than doubled the site’s solar capacity. The new 1.4-megawatt carport system has been added to the 1-megawatt rooftop solar installation that has been operating at the facility for the past three years.

In Poland, Alight has developed and commissioned rooftop solar installations at Lear’s manufacturing facilities in Bieruń and Tychy. The systems supply renewable electricity directly to factory operations, helping Lear lower emissions and reduce exposure to long-term electricity price volatility.

“Our partnership with Alight helps us integrate renewable energy directly into our operations,” said Josef Chrzanowski, vice president of global sustainability at Lear Corp.

All three projects have been delivered through Alight’s Solar-as-a-Service model, under which Alight finances, builds, owns and operates the systems, and Lear purchases the electricity through long-term agreements. The model enables companies to adopt onsite solar without upfront investment while benefiting from predictable energy costs and reduced carbon emissions.
