Aim of the exploration « solar 2009 »
The aim is to have a look on the diversity of existing equipment in photovoltaïc and solar water systems.

Why to choose solar?
Necessity of producing electricity. To be independant from network. Wish to produce electricity. Innovative capacity and exemple. Education and ecology thinking. Strategy of sustainable development. Power and finance saving.

Motivation analysis
Financial return is not the only reason. To compensate the electric consumption. The free ressource is a reason to invest in
that equipments. Financial return is one of the reasons.

Advantage
Electric autonomy is an advantage for restaurants managers and other housing in altitude.
Unavailable connection to ground electric network is part of the problem, because some businesses are seasonal. Presence of two or three months.

Perspectives for development
Evolution of solar equipment and investments currently made in large surfaces enable us to count on strong development of this industrial sector.

Installations seen in 2009
Solar equipment must be illuminated by day light, then it is quite easy to look at it without entering inside locations. Only electric devices like ondulators or pipes and hot water tanks must be locked inside secured rooms.
Pictures were shot during august and september 2009.

Hot water in Corsica ?
With a sunny weather, Corsica island should be a place where to develop solar tecnology. There are actualy few panels visible, but i did not focus on this subject during the trip. Only one water panel came in front of my camera.

Conclusion of solar panorama
By this choice of field work, i met several opinions about solar solution. All were positives about using the sun, i only had one discussion about unsightly reasons. Difficulty is still on financial subject because it keeps a part of personal investment for famillies even in partnership with companies.
