GreenYellow is a key player in decentralized solar power generation and energy efficiency. The company is officially commissioning the largest rooftop photovoltaic power plant in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region.

The photovoltaic power plant project

This photovoltaic power plant project integrates several companies. We find the builder of the site PRD and the owner the SCPI ACCIMMO PIERRE.

This project aims to contribute to the energy transition of the territory through the development of renewable energies. The SCPI ACCIMMO PIERRE has obtained the SRI label. In this context, GreenYellow has collaborated with PRD, Easydis, Groupe Casino and BNP PARIBAS REIM France by providing a tailor-made support consisting in the exploitation of the building’s roof to install a photovoltaic plant.

Photovoltaic panels with a total capacity of 5 MWp have been installed on the 80,000m2 roof of the warehouse. This project mobilizes more than 14,000 photovoltaic panels. It will allow the network to benefit from 5.7 GWh of green electricity each year. This action will avoid the emission of the equivalent of 307 tons of CO2 annually.

Photovoltaic parking lot shades with a capacity of 412 kWp are also installed. This will produce green energy as well as protect users’ vehicles from the sun and weather.

GreenYellow’s global and tailor-made support includes an initial feasibility study by its Research Department. This allowed us to measure the productivity potential of this area. GreenYellow then took over the development of the project, including all the necessary administrative authorizations.

Finally, the company managed the entire construction phase. It has collaborated with different actors for the installation of the photovoltaic panels and the connection to the grid.

The benefits of this project are numerous. First, it participates in the development of renewable energies in the territory. Secondly, it will bring economic benefits. Finally, it reduces C02 emissions.

The GreenYellow Company

Green Yellon is therefore carrying this photovoltaic plant project. In 15 years, the company has become a major player in the energy transition in France and abroad. It is a true ally of companies and communities in this field.

The company is a specialist in decentralized solar photovoltaic production. As well as energy efficiency projects and energy services. GreenYellow offers its customers a platform to make their energy transition a beneficial and committed reality.

Operating in 16 countries on 4 continents, GreenYellow is constantly enriching its offer, through innovation, to meet the needs of private and public actors and to accompany them in reducing their ecological footprint.
