The young Maria Fochs Serrano, 21 years old and a resident of Navàs, has become a unique figure in the energy sector of Bages as the only female installer at the company SUD Renovables.

Fochs' career in the clean energy world began after completing a dual vocational training degree. Her involvement with SUD Renovables, located in Avinyó, was immediate: she started her internship and signed a permanent contract just before turning 18.

"What I like most about my job is going up on the roofs and contemplating landscapes that I can only see from the heights."

Her daily work involves mounting photovoltaic systems on industrial buildings, working in teams that install between 300 and 1,000 panels per project. Although she is currently working in the warehouse due to reduced hours after becoming a mother, she intends to return soon to the rooftops of Girona and Barcelona.
