Frequently asked questions
On average, it takes between 4 and 5 years from the discovery of the land to the launch of the power plant.
This is dʼInicioʼs primary aim, to identify land with the fewest constraints so that this timeframe is as short as possible.
To carry out this type of project, the environmental impact must be controlled. This is why studies are carried out prior to the project. For example, studies are carried out over 4 seasons to measure the potential impact on local flora and fauna. If the impact is too great, the application will not be accepted by the government.
- Land use: Photovoltaic panels are installed on sloping and/or raised structures, occupying part of the land. In the majority of cases, the structures are fixed using piles driven into the ground, without the use of concrete. As a result, there is very little direct impact on the land.
- Modification of the ecosystem: The installation of the panels results in the modification of natural habitats for local flora and fauna. This may be favourable to certain species, and unfavourable to others.
- Umbrella’ effect: Photovoltaic panels reduce the amount of light and rain directly available to the ground beneath the panels, modifying local microclimates. In particular, moisture is retained better under the panels in dry periods.
- Water run-off: Photovoltaic panels can alter rainwater run-off, potentially increasing the risk of erosion or run-off if water management is not optimised. In most cases, solar power plants are installed on flat land, thereby limiting this problem.
- Agricultural land: If the land is fertile, the installation of panels may limit its agricultural use. However, the concept of agrivoltaics (combining agriculture and photovoltaics) tends to minimise this impact by optimising the mixed use of the land. Photovoltaic projects are now authorised on farmland only if they provide at least one of the following 4 services: improved agronomic potential, adaptation to climate change, protection against climatic hazards, improved animal welfare, etc.
