Solar photovoltaic energy is produced from solar radiation, thanks to photovoltaic modules that convert this radiation into electricity.
Ground-based solar power plants are the subject of a building permit instructed by the state services. This table contains ground-based solar power plants whose building permit has been granted, modified, refused, cancelled or abandoned (the PCs deposited are not represented).
__Origin__
Solar power objects are polygons locating the plots concerned by the installation. They are created by the DDT(M) agents (Departmental Directorates of Territories and Sea) on the basis of the petitioner’s application for a building permit. This creation is usually done by visual reporting on the appropriate large-scale geographical repository of the plots concerned by the installation. Several data are provided in a second step by an officer of the energy and climate change mission of the DREAL (Regional Directorate for the Environment, of the #x27th; Planning and Housing), from the application file for a certificate of #x27; obligation of #x27; purchase of the electricity produced, or the application file for a call for a national tender, if applicable.
