Solar Power In France
Solar power in France including overseas territories reached an installed capacity figure of 11.2 GW by the end of 2020. The solar power capacity is set to continue expanding with a target of around 18–20 GW installed by 2023. However, wavering political support for new installations slowed PV deployment since the record year of 2011, when 1,700 MW had been installed. However, the sector appears to have recovered its previous pace, with nearly 1,400 MW coming on line in the first half of 2021. In January 2016, the President of France, François Hollande, and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, laid the foundation stone for the headquarters of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in Gwalpahari, Gurgaon, India. The ISA will focus on promoting and developing solar energy and solar products for countries lying wholly or partially between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The alliance of over 120 countries was announced at the Paris COP21 climate summit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Floating Solar
Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, is solar panels mounted on a structure that floats on a body of water, typically a reservoir or a lake. The market for this renewable energy technology has grown rapidly since 2016. The first 20 plants with capacities of a few dozen kWp were built between 2007 and 2013. Installed power reached 3 GW in 2020, with 10 GW predicted by 2025. The costs for a floating system are 20-25% higher than for ground-mounted systems. Technology features There are several reasons for this development: #''No land occupancy'': The main advantage of floating PV plants is that they do not take up any land, except the limited surfaces necessary for electric cabinet and grid connections. Their price is comparable with land based plants, but floatovoltaics provide a good way to avoid land consumption. #''Installation and decommissioning'': Floating PV plants are more compact than land-based plants, their management is ...
