In these last years, we could observe a collective awareness of our energy balance, and the disastrous consequences of the worldwide excessive consumption of fossil energies, called non-renewable energies (oil, gas, coal, etc.). An unprecedented movement towards an energy transition is underway, paving the way for new energies, known as renewable energies, including solar energy. Solar energy offers a formidable alternative to fossil fuels; being renewable, it is clean and limitless. It has minimal ecological impact as solar energy does not produce any residue and the materials used in the manufacture of photovoltaic panels are themselves more and more recyclable.
OUR SOLUTIONS
The production of solar energy requires many issues to be addressed in order to optimise efficiency. Our teams have carefully studied renewable energies and their potentials, and have developed precise and reliable calculations. Thanks to our expertise, we are able to address these issues and deduce the solar energy potential of buildings in France’s business parks.
We have geo-located and determined the perimeter of each of the France’s Activity Areas, as well as the buildings they contain. Moreover, we know the buildings’ total surface area and the roofs’ available surface area. Using this data, we can deduce the number of panels that can be installed on the roofs. But we can also calculate the buildings average energy needs based on information such as: the field of work of the companies located in the areas, or the number of employees.
USE CASES
The purposes of these fields of expertise are many.
1. Local and Regional Authorities
The energy transition is a national issue, and each territory is part of this large-scale ecological initiative. Thus, local authorities play a key role in the ecological movement by investing in the renovation of buildings, in the development of their sectors, and in promoting renewable energies. By taking into consideration specific data concerning their territories, local authorities will be able to draw up a conclusion and target the areas to be prioritised for the installation of photovoltaic panels.
1. Energy Providers
With the help of this type of geographical data, it becomes possible to target areas with a large available solar energy potential, effectively enabling prospecting operations. For example, it is possible to estimate the optimal number of panels for each building, as well as the available roof surface.
