Après mon article d’introduction sur le biogaz, en voici un autre expliquant pourquoi je suis un grand défenseur du solaire photovoltaique. Alors qu’Emmanuel Macron a été réélu Président et dit vouloir accélérer la transition énérgétique, cette source d’énergie est la plus facilement déployable ainsi que la moins chère. Au niveau mondial, le photovoltaïque est en

A lot has been said about the booming global capacities of solar and wind in the past few years. But wind works at a maximum 35% of the time for onshore and perhaps 45% for offshore wind. Solar PV is even lower, with 20 to 30% capacity factor. So, backup solutions are being sought. 2017
