The mayor of Paris came this Tuesday to inaugurate the commissioning of new photovoltaic panels installed on the roofs of a school in the 18th arrondissement, just in front of the Eiffel Tower.
320 panels placed on a flat surface of 600 m2.
The green energy thus created corresponds to the equivalent of 40 households excluding heating, "which is really not nothing", specifies the mayor of Paris.
"Today, a photovoltaic panel is more than 95% recyclable, more than your telephone or microwave oven", explains Patrick Gèze, co-president of EnerCit'IF who carried out this subsidized participatory project. 65% by the city.
"The footprint of photovoltaic panels is one of the smallest," he adds.
"For us, it is very important to set an example and show the generations to come that we are thinking of them," recalls Anne Hidalgo.
14 other solar stations should see the light of day.
