READ MOREExamples of photovoltaic solar production in the North and South of France. If you live in Bas-Rhin (Northern Alsace) you will have less than 1220 kWh of recoverable solar energy per year and per m². If you are in the Montpellier region, you will have 1620 to 1760 kWh/m² each year. This is around 40% more than in Alsace or the
READ MORESolar Thermal Power Plants. Solar thermal power plants use the sun''s rays to heat a fluid to very high temperatures. The fluid is then circulated through pipes so it can transfer its heat to water to produce steam. The steam, in turn, is converted into mechanical energy in a turbine and into electricity by a conventional generator coupled to
