This video of less than 4 minutes summarizes what you will find in the Ademe guide "Photovoltaics, soil and biodiversity: challenges and good practices". The deployment of renewable energies is one of the major means of achieving carbon neutrality and reducing our energy dependence, in particular thanks to photovoltaic solar power plants.
When these photovoltaic power plants are installed in natural environments, they can have significant negative impacts on soils and biodiversity.
These impacts and the means of avoiding them (E), of reducing them (R) or failing to compensate for them (C) are better and better known, and can already be taken into account during planning, the design and then the operation of these power plants.
The result of a partnership between the ADEME and the OFB, the guide draws up a state of knowledge of the incidences and proposes solutions aimed at remedying them.
