When you think of electricity in France, the first thing that comes to mind is nuclear power. Nuclear energy leads with a share of 40% in the French energy mix – but in recent years, renewable energies have taken an increasingly bigger share. Solar energy in particular is becoming more and more popular – not only for producing green electricity in industry or communities, but also for private households. Households are not only able to reduce their CO2 emissions but also to become less dependent on the electricity market and price fluctuations. The south of France, in particular, offers great conditions for the use of solar energy thanks to its high levels of solar radiation. Montpellier is therefore one of the most important French markets for solar energy. The following article introduces three PV installers from Montpellier.
