"Korea’s Hanwha Solar has
delivered 7.7MW of PV modules for a Ginseng plantation which has become the
largest rooftop solar installation in France.
French
construction contractor Solvéo Energie has built the plant in the municipality
of Rion-des-Landes, which is designed to create ideal cultivation conditions
for Ginseng – a medicinal plant whose roots need four years before they can be
harvested and which only thrives in shady areas.
Equipping the plantation rooftop
with solar modules also helped secure financing for the project.
'The Rion-des-Landes plant
demonstrates how synergies with solar energy can successfully bring innovative
projects forward,” says Charles Kim, president of Hanwha Solar.'"
