Green electricity, for an eco-responsible company
What is green electricity?
Green electricity refers to electrical energy generated from a natural, inexhaustible source. Added to this is the notion of environmental impact. Green electricity must be renewable, and its production must have very little impact on the environment. With Shift Production, you can produce your own green electricity locally and at low cost.
Green electricity sources
Today, there are 6 main sources of green electricity:
- Solar energy (photovoltaic or thermal)
- Wind power
- Hydropower
- Marine energy
- Geothermal energy
- Biomass
In France, most green energy is generated by hydro and wind power, which respectively supply 13.6% and 8.4% of the electricity consumed in the country. Photovoltaic solar power is on the rise, with a 13% increase in 2021 compared with the previous year, producing 2.8% of the electricity consumed in France.
Although photovoltaic solar energy is currently only third on the list of renewable energies (RE) in France, it represents the most effective solution for promoting your company's self-consumption of energy and reducing your energy bill over the long term.
When you opt for photovoltaic solar energy, you have two options for using the energy produced:
- Self-consumption, which consists in using the energy produced to power all or part of your installations.
- Injection into the grid, which allows you to make the most of your green energy production by sending it to the national distribution grid.
Why choose green electricity?
Choosing green electricity has several benefits for your company.
- Use green, local, low-cost energy
- Meet your environmental commitments
- Improve your CSR image
With Shift Production from GreenYellow, you can do more than just choose green electricity: you can produce it to power your installations! Accelerate your ecological transition by setting up a solar photovoltaic solution for self-consumption and :
- Decarbonize your business
- Make the most of your unused space
- Save on your energy bill
- Reduce your dependence on the grid
Produce your own green, local energy
GreenYellow takes your projects from A to Z and develops the solution best suited to your needs. What's more, we take charge of the financing, construction and long-term operation of your facilities.
Shift Production solutions from GreenYellow tailor-made
With Shift Production's tailor-made turnkey solar solutions, GreenYellow enables you to make the most of all your unused spaces (roofs, parking lots, water retention basins, etc.), as well as your agricultural land.
Ground-mounted solar farms
You can also generate low-cost green electricity by valorizing your extensive land or retention basins.
Covering several hectares, ground-mounted farms can also be installed on cultivated land. The solar farm then becomes a genuine agrivoltaic project, protecting crops while producing green energy.
Meeting very specific criteria, a photovoltaic installation can obtain this designation if the photovoltaic modules have a positive influence on agricultural production by providing :
- Protection against hazards
- A service for adapting to climate change or improving
animal welfare
- An agronomic service to meet crop needs
Photovoltaic shading
Produce green energy and add value to your parking lots by installing photovoltaic shading systems. With self-consumption, shading systems promote energy autonomy while providing additional comfort for users by providing shade and protecting vehicles from bad weather.
Solar Floating
Save money by installing solar plant photovoltaics on floating structures. In addition to adding value to lakes, water retention basins or hydroelectric reservoirs, floating solar power saves water by reducing evaporation, and has a positive impact on the environment by controlling algae proliferation.
Rooftop solar plants
Add value to the roofs of your real estate assets by installing photovoltaic solar panels. Produce green energy to power your sites, or feed it into the grid.
Hybrid system
A pioneer in renewable energies, with Shift Production, GreenYellow can offer you a hybrid solar system that allows you to store the green energy produced in batteries for deferred use, thus increasing your share of self-consumption.
An opportunity for businesses and local communities, green energy, and even more so the self-consumption of green energy, offers economic and environmental advantages. With GreenYellow and its Shift Production offer, accelerate your ecological transition!
