Fourmies public building Ecole Aragon
Goal
Rooftop PV on public buildings, like a school, with innovative funding.
Description
Solar panels will be installed on a school which will serve the purpose of creating awareness for the students and their parents, to increase the uptake of solar energy. The installation will be classic with direct injection into the grid.
The project has received public participation in the financing through a €48.000 crowdlending campaign, one of the first in the region.
The decision for roof-top installations has been taken to maximize the production and reduce the cost of installations.
