INAUGURATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS 2009
Forgot Nicolas - Friday 25 to 18:15
I was a storyteller, I would start by tell you a story. This story would begin with "once upon a fairy" and it would be a story, you guessed it, the history of the magic of electricity.
How this fairy she magically changed our way of life? This is the story of the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, electricity is distributed throughout the twentieth century and it is essential that we now .
Here in Lintéver, she got a little weak and it took until 1955 to be fed. Reconstruction after the 2nd World War was long and the campaign had to wait.
But today, in just over half a century only, that is a long way since the farm itself produces electricity using photovoltaic panels installed on the shed. Technology after the conquest of space!
How did we get here?
Our approach is detailed on the notice boards in the shed, I'll summarize it.
In 2007 it was the beginnings of reflection:
· holiday in Bavaria, where there was a lot of solar panels,
· An awareness of climate change with Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" and also as a farmer being in tune with the effects of climate change (drought, floods , hail ...)
· The European economy, which sets ambitious targets of 20% electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Which obliges member states to implement measures in this direction, for example by the dried incentive redemptions.
· Participation in a meeting organized by the Chamber Corlay agricultural and leading to the formation of a working group led by Sophie Beausire to the chamber Agriculture Pontivy. This group of fifteen motivated farmers will create competition and speed things up: one year later, electricity production will be operational for 8 of us.
In 2008, the year of the implementation of the project Through the working group:
· meeting with installers from a guide specification and choice of installer by each of us
· Comparison of banking services and insurance contracts
· Information about legal forms, contracts for the purchase by EDF
· Meeting with ERDF
· Rendezvous with the council ...
From our side, we undertake to submit our application to the ADEME, which calls for photovoltaic generation project in May 2008. On this occasion we got the active support of local elected officials: Mr Marc Roper Mayor Cléguérec, Mr Serge Moello, General Counsel, Mr. Jean-Pierre Le Roch, Regional Councillor and Chair community of common Pontivy. We thank them once again. The record is filed on June 15 from ADEME.
Always mid 2008, we sign the quotation with IEL, Local Initiatives and Energy in LANNION for installation of 34 320 watt peaks of a $ 185 0000 euro.
same time, we ask Banque Populaire Atlantique for the project. The loan of EUR 128 0000 is signed, the rest is self-financing 30 000 euros in grants (general council, regional council, ERDF Europe) and 32 000 euros of equity capital.
Gan Pontivy (Thebault Talhouet agency) to ensure the panels and negotiate an operating loss in the event of stoppage of production.
The big day arrived in November 2008: the delivery of funds panels Germany. Then everything comes together very quickly mounting and connection in December on 09/01/2009. IEL should be commended for keeping time looking.
On 9 July 2009, the first invoice was sent to EDF, which has settled on a st August.
That's the historical part, now see how it works: the photovoltaic effect is the production of an electric current through the action of light in a material derived from the electronics industry: the silicon. Then the current is converted into alternating current three phase inverters. This current is then injected into the EDF via the counter sales. From the second billboard, I will comment on the graphics production (daily, monthly ...)
Today September 25th we produced 32,000 kWh, the forecast for 2009 is therefore the financial balance Installation is reached and the rest of the annual production will come as a bonus.
is encouraging for a first year and we are comforted in our decision. We produce clean energy locally and gives us confidence in the future.
