Delivery completed for the new photovoltaic plant in Lux, Côte-d’Or
A photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 8.5 MW will soon be built in Lux, Côte-d’Or, on an 8-hectare plot of land that has not been used since 2016.
The project is supported by our client EDF Renewables and will have an estimated annual production of 9 GWh, equivalent to the average annual electricity consumption of approximately 2,140 households.
More than 20,400 Photowatt PW72LHT-C modules with an average power of 417 Wp were delivered to complete the plant.

The 2nd scientific and technical meeting of the PVIMPACT H2020 project
Within the framework of the 2nd Scientific & Technical meeting (Sci & Tech) of the PVIMPACT H2020 project, our Photowatt’s R&D team hosted this past February 3-4, an online workshop focused on the compatibility of cast-mono silicon with current solar cells architectures and on the long term degradation of cast-mono cells and modules.
With the presence of renowned international experts, we discussed the state-of-the-art research and expertise regarding the behavior of this low carbon footprint material.
Special thanks to all participants for this rich exchange.

The Roselend project aims to find new low-carbon solutions to ensure a harmonious balance between the economic development of the Beaufortain territory, pastoralism, green energy and biodiversity.
Renewable energies applied to agriculture
In Savoie, in the Beaufortain region, various organizations, including the Société d’économie Alpestre, EDF and Photowatt, are participating in the Roselend project, which aims to test the possibility of replacing diesel-powered generators with one powered by hydrogen and photovoltaics on mobile milking machines.
Replace diesel by a hybrid unit: Hydrogen / Photovoltaic
The diesel generators that power the mobile milking machines generate a lot of noise, smoke and odors for milking sites, wildlife, hikers, etc.
The use of a hybrid hydrogen/photovoltaic generator greatly reduces these nuisances because it is an almost silent device, without fumes or odors.
The demonstrator is composed of a hydrogen fuel cell, a battery, 3 inverters to deliver three-phase current, a control automaton and 6 Photowatt solar panels.
The unit is compact in order to be easily transportable (on a tractor or in a trailer), practical to use, robust and reliable.
The Photowatt modules
Photowatt supplied 72-cell bi-glass modules (PW72HT-C-XF) whose reliability will be evaluated at the end of the year in order to validate the resistance and the behaviour during the movement of the machine throughout the season.

11,000 Photowatt solar panels will constitute the new photovoltaic plant
With a total installed power of 3.6 MWp, it will produce each year the equivalent of the average annual electricity consumption of about 1600 inhabitants and will avoid 91 tons of CO2 per year.
The power plant is located in the commune of Samognat, in the department of Ain in the Haut Bugey, on a former sand quarry, which will enable the development of abandoned communal land.
