Floating solar remains an emerging technology in France, particularly in the northern regions, where it holds significant untapped potential. Yet despite its advantages, such projects face economic challenges.
The Park was constructed on a retired air force base near the city of Nancy in Northeastern France, and cost an estimated €430 million to build. The 67.5 MW Gabardan Solar Park in the Landes region of Southwestern France is another French solar project which uses First Solar's advanced thin-film PV modules.
France leads most of the European Union in installed solar capacity, and is home to some of the largest solar projects in Europe.
Designed and built by EDF Energies Nouvelles, the plant produces solar power via 1.4 million cutting-edge thin-film solar modules from American manufacturer First Solar. The Park was constructed on a retired air force base near the city of Nancy in Northeastern France, and cost an estimated €430 million to build.
