Fourmies public buildings – sports complexes: Gymnase Léo Lagrange and Gymnase Marie-José Pérec
Goal
Rooftop PV on public buildings, like sports complexes.
Description
Solar panels will be installed on 2 sports complexes, that are visited frequently by the public, hence gives the chance to create awareness. to increase the uptake of solar energy.
The decision for roof-top installations has been taken to maximize the production and reduce the cost of installations.
The roof-top installations on the sports complexes will use the method of collective consumption for the city buildings and will be one of the first 27 such installations in France and one of the most important in the region
One of the roofs had to be reinforced to accommodate the PV panels. This is a curved roof structure and an interesting aspect for this installation
