Solar energy is captured by photovoltaic panels, which convert sunlight into electricity using silicon cells. This electricity is first fed into the batteries in the form of direct current, and then converted into alternating current by an inverter to power the project’s infrastructure, such as the charging points and lighting in the Espace Solaire.

Yes, the solar panels continue to generate electricity even on cloudy days, although their output is reduced. They capture diffuse sunlight, enabling the Espace Solaire to remain functional even in the absence of full sunlight.

Solar energy is produced directly from the sun’s rays, without the need for heavy infrastructure such as hydroelectric dams or wind turbines. It’s a modular solution that can be easily integrated into urban projects like the Espace Solaire, which benefits from clean, local energy production with no impact on the landscape.

Yes, if you have enough photovoltaic solar panels to power the batteries during the sunny period. At Espace Solaire, the energy produced during the day is stored to ensure optimal operation in the evening, depending on the site’s energy requirements.

If production exceeds immediate consumption and a storage system is in place, excess energy is stored in the batteries for later use. Otherwise, the energy can be fed back into the grid, although this is not the case for the Espace Solaire, which is not connected to the grid.
