SOLAR energy engineering

Photovoltaics plant pollute almost 20 times less than biomass or fossil fuel technologies

Today, according to the IPCC, solar photovoltaic energy is one of the most sustainable energy sources. Its CO2 emissions have far less impact on our environment compared to other technologies.
Solar energy is quite new in the energy sector and at its beginning in the mid-50s, the technology wasn’t as efficient as today. Moreover, the complexity of the engineering and the rare materials lead to unaffordable prices. However, in less than 20 years, photovoltaic prices declined by a factor of 10 while the technology efficiency improved significantly from 13% in 2000 to 21% today.

Whether you are looking at lowering your CO2 footprint, saving money on your electricity bill, building a renewable energy power plant or selling  energy to the grid, we strongly believe solar photovoltaic represents a great opportunity for you.

HOW WE CAN
HELP YOU

From residential scale (5 KWp) to large-scale utility projects (>200 MWp) we assist you in choosing the best options and environmental benefit output. We can work together at different stages of you project:

Early phase of construction: conceptualisation,  objectives and feasibility of the project. 

  • Pre-construction phase: engineering details, procurements and construction contracting.
  • Existent plant buying: evaluation of the energy production and utilisation of the plant.

On whatever step of your project, our job is to assist you in every process, crunch the numbers and produce all the technical documents you need for permitting, construction and operation of the plant.
