French floating solar company Ciel & Terre has completed the 11 MWp Saint-Elix floating solar project in France for SOLVEO Energies.
Ciel & Terre’s Europe team designed, supplied, and built the floating platform, which hosts 17,570 photovoltaic (PV) modules.
“Quarry ponds are a successful application of floating solar and make up for a great potential. At Ciel & Terre, we installed 100 MW over such ponds since 2024, in France only,” Ciel & Terre said.
Toulouse-based SOLVEO Energies will next install a 4 MWp ground-mounted PV plant alongside the Saint-Elix floating project. Both projects will then be connected and commissioned, Ciel & Terre said.
“Congratulations to all our teams for this great work and thank you Ciel & Terre International for this #réalisation which proves your expertise in the field,” SOLVEO Energies said.
Just recently, Solar power producer Generale du Solaire and Ciel & Terre commissioned a 20 MWp floating solar plant in Leutenheim, France, which the company described as the first of this scale in the region.
