Photovoltaïc: municipal action plan (octobre 2015)

Main goal: x 2 of PV power by 2020 on municipal buildings + 125 kWc

-PV budget line 60 000€ / year (investment) : hard to achieve PV goal with just this funding…

-New crowfunding scheme for PVIn order to amplify city’s PV budget

-Keeping technical skills for city’s workers, in order to implement new PV plants with a lesser cost

-Reduction of electricity consumption espacially on PV powered sites Mainly in schools

-Promoting the new crowdfunding scheme to local stakeholder, in order to developp it Espacially with commercial buildings, fishing activity, …

New crowdfunding scheme

Citizen own the PV pannelsMADE IN FRANCE

( « OnCIMè » company) (on s’y met means something like « let’s do it » )

Renting 9000€/y for 45kWp , during 15 years(city uses electricity credit

line to rent the PV panels)

Lorient city-Rents Solar pannels-Purchase other equipments (inverters, ballast, …)

Installation of PV pannels by city workers

+ awarness campaigns, during 15 years

Citizen Oncimè company :

« Brittany citizen energy » non profit organization (BEC) (2009) 120 members

First project: Mellac solar roof (2009-2013)

BEC was looking for new opportunities:

- New funding schemes (PV « national » prices made a huge fall during the years 2011-2013)- Looking for ways to involve more people- Wishing to work with children

New « tool »: OnCIMè participating company 1 people= 1 voice – 66 shareholders – 38 750€ capital Executive comittee of 11 people (including 2 by drawing of lots !)Co-ownership of solar pannelsFrench made panels (low CO2 for manufacturing)

First test of « behind the grid » PV plant: Kermelo school (2014-

2015)

15 kWp / 100 m²60 pannels of 250 Wp, one micro inverter per pannelPrice : 35 000€ (no VAT!), 2,3€/WpBallasted supports (no hole in the roof!)

Production / y. 17,5 MWhSelf consumption : 90%Covert ratio (PV self consumption / total): >20 %kWh price: 11c€ /kWh

Before PV plant

After PV plant implementation : after noon, the school produces nerly all of its own electricity needs
