The largest ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant in France was commissioned in Lunel, in the Hérault region.
The plant, which occupies an area of 15 000 m², offers a power of 500 kW. The 6 700 75W photovoltaic modules supplied by First Solar capture the exceptional sunshine of Languedoc Roussillon.
According to Valeco, which has been running the project since the 2005 summer, the plant represents the annual energy consumption of 300 homes.
The Valeco group has invested 2,4 million euros and received grants from the Languedoc Roussillon region.
Valeco currently operates 100 MW wind turbines and 20 MWp photovoltaic in construction and development. In total, Valeco claims an annual electrical production of 266 000 000 kWh, which is the annual requirement of more than 222 000 people. Its heat output is 80 000 000 thermal kWh.
