A km on foot, it wears away the shoes, but a km of solar panels, it produces the energy… Thursday at Tourouvre-au-Perche (Orne), Ségolène Royal, minister of Environment, inaugurated the first road solar in the world. A section of 1 000 m, coated 2 800 m2 of photovoltaic tiles which are connected to the electricity grid, are expected to produce 280 000 kWh per year. This is the public lighting of a city of 5 000 inhabitants.

A technical prowess which has a price of: € 5 million. But the note does not excite the minister. “ This is a prototype ! This is 5 million euros on 1.5 billion invested in France for the past two years on the pv. When we send a space station in space, there will always be people who will argue that it is too expensive. But sometimes it is necessary to have the courage to be visionary… “
A plea relayed by Philippe Monloubou, chairman of Enedis, who note that ” innovation, it costs a bit expensive at the start. But the photovoltaic panels are seven times less expensive than those produced five years ago ! “
On the national road network
in Short, yesterday, we were there to go ahead and promote renewable energy, ” the great challenge of the century “, dixit, the minister., The one that will be to replace the fossil fuels responsible for global warming. Ségolène Royal is not afraid of the schedules tight : this mile of road solar, was built in just two months. Yesterday, it announced that ” the State was going to conduct in 2017, a plan of experimental route to solar on the national road network, first step of a deployment program over the four years to come.”

Thus, the technology of the sun route will be used on a section of the national highway 164 in Britain, and the arrangement of parking spaces on the rest area of Marzan (Morbihan), on the RN165 between Nantes and Vannes. An experiment will also be driving next year in the Grand Port maritime of Marseille.
outside
The company ornaise SNA, which has manufactured the plates, is ready : the business of public works Colas (Bouygues group), which owns the project, has just given her an order 5 000 m2 for 2017. Because Colas sees beyond the borders of the Hexagon. “ We in the midst of this technology in French at a construction site in the United States and another in Canada, has revealed to Peter Calvin, commercial director of the group of BTP. Thea Switzerland, Japan and Morocco must implement their projects in the coming weeks. “
Ségolène Royal jubilee. The next month, the commission for energy regulation,” that fixed feed-in tariffs of energy “, will input a specification for the realisation of solar installations innovative. Then, if France has no oil, it has a few ideas… and a little sun.
