Photovoltaic recycling and waste

Today's technology enables 95% of solar panels to be recycled. For each solar farm that is built, EDF Renewables provides funds for the recycling of solar panels, carried out in France by PV Cycle.

Solar power station and biodiversity

Conducting an environmental impact study serves to define the measures necessary to preserve the biodiversity of the sites, such as the protection of certain sensitive species.
