Is the average slope of the PV panels optimized to give maximum power in a certain season? (not necessarily in summer?)

Meuse: commissioning on Saturday of the second largest photovoltaic power plant in France
AFP • 29 / 04 / 2021
The second largest photovoltaic plant in France, installed in the Meuse on a former NATO air base, will start supplying electricity to the grid on Saturday: it will eventually produce enough to meet the needs of 23.000 inhabitants.
Along the runways that once housed fighter planes, on this former base used by the Canadian armed forces, solar panels now extend as far as the eye can see: around 364.000 solar modules are installed on a surface of 155 hectares.
Two companies share the premises, TSE and Enerparc. The first will "begin to gradually integrate energy into the grid from Saturday, and will operate in its entirety from June 1," said a spokesperson.
The other half of the plant, managed by Enerparc, is a little behind schedule and will in turn come into service in September.
"With a installed capacity of 152 MWp (Megawatt-peak), the plant will generate a total production of around 156 Gigawatt hours per year, or the equivalent of the annual consumption of 23.000 inhabitants, "said TSE in a press release.
The two companies have invested a total of 80 million euros in this project, in equal parts.
Particularity of the installation, "TSE has delegated the management of the grassed areas to a young local sheep farmer in organic farming who was able to set up thanks to this project", the company further indicates.
Concretely, it is therefore his sheep that will weed the lawns at the foot of the solar panels.
"Several elements mean that we can only be delighted with this project", underlines Eric Dumont, president of the community of communes of the Pays de Montmédy, owner of the land.
"In terms of energy transition, it is an excellent contribution: the second photovoltaic plant in France is not nothing. And it allows us to control a military wasteland, which is not easy to manage", adds the elected who oversees 25 municipalities for a population of 7.300 inhabitants.
Mr. Dumont also insists on "the double ecological aspect", with the installation of the young shepherd, and part of the old base also converted into a small ornithological reserve for the protection of the sparrow.
The community of municipalities will receive 375.000 euros in annual rent.
The largest photovoltaic solar power plant in France remains that of Cestas, in Gironde, managed by the company Neoen, with an installed capacity of 300 MWp.
The French photovoltaic solar park at the end of March 2021
During the first quarter of 1, 2021 MW of solar photovoltaic capacities were connected in France, i.e. nearly 546 times more than during the same period in 2,8 (2020 MW). A surge which "is explained by an increase in the number of connections but also by a high proportion of connections from high power plants", specifies the SDES.
In total, the French photovoltaic solar park was, at the end of March 2021, made up of 502 "installations" with a cumulative power of 11,5 GW. Electricity production from solar photovoltaic sources reached 2,0 TWh in the 1st quarter of 2021 (12% less than in the 1st quarter of 2020), i.e. 1,4% of French electricity consumption during this period.

Energiequelle finalizes its first photovoltaic project in France
The solar park, with a capacity of 14,7 MWp, was built by the company's French subsidiary, P&T Technologie, and is located in the town of Decize (Nièvre).
JULY 19, 2021 EMILIANO BELLINI
The German company Energiequelle has completed the construction of its first photovoltaic project in France.
The solar park, with a capacity of 14,7 MWp, was built by the company's French subsidiary, P&T Technologie, and is located in the town of Decize (Nièvre).
The plant was built with 36 solar modules supplied by the Chinese manufacturer Talesun, with a power of 000 Wp. The project was selected as part of the CRE 405 call for tenders launched in September 4.6.
The electricity produced is bought back 5,15 cents per kWh, guaranteed rate for 20 years.
In recent years, Energiequelle has already completed several photovoltaic projects in Germany, Spain and Italy, and currently operates 22 solar installations.
