Renewable energies
Essential to the energy transition, renewable energies are helping to build a more sober future and a more sustainable model. GreenYellow tells you all about RE and its benefits for your business.
What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is energy produced by a natural, inexhaustible source. Solar energy or "photovoltaic solar energy" is one of the main sources of renewable energy. Its development is at the heart of the energy transition, and forms an integral part of GreenYellow 's global platform of offers enabling companies and local communities to consume less and better.
What are the 6 sources of renewable energy?
We can distinguish 6 sources of renewable energy:
- Solar energy (thermal and photovoltaic)
- Wind power
- Hydropower
- Marine energies
- Geothermal energy
- Biomass
Photovoltaic solar energy,
the #SHIFTProduction offer from GreenYellow
Solar energy is a renewable form of energy that depends on the sun. Photovoltaic panels convert the captured light into direct current. An inverter transforms this direct current into alternating current, which is fed directly into the grid or consumed by the site.
Ground-mounted farms, floating solar systems, photovoltaic shade systems, etc. - your company can make the most of unused space by installing a photovoltaic solution. With #SHIFTProduction, GreenYellow supports you from A to Z in the realization of your solar photovoltaic projects, from development to maintenance.

Wind power
A wind-dependent renewable energy, wind power is generated by differences in atmospheric temperature and pressure. When a cold zone meets a warm zone, wind is generated and converted into electricity by wind turbines.
Hydropower
Hydroelectric power is generated by the force of water in hydroelectric power stations. A distinction can be made between high-head, medium-head and run-of-river power plants.
Marine energies
Marine energies harness marine currents or tides, the temperature difference between surface and deep waters, or marine biomass to produce renewable energy with zero CO2 emissions.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is a source of electricity generated using the Earth's heat and the very hot water found in underground aquifers.
Biomass
The benefits of renewable energies
In addition to being an inexhaustible source of energy with low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, installing a photovoltaic solution as a renewable energy source offers many advantages for your company:
- Decarbonizing your business
- Making the most of your unused space
- Reduce your energy bill
- Self-consumption
- Green, local and cheaper energy production
- Meeting your environmental commitments
- Improving your CSR image
What are the differences between renewable energy and green energy?
Energy is said to be renewable only if its source renews itself quickly enough to be considered inexhaustible. The notion of green energy adds to this the environmental impact and takes into account CO2 emissions and other polluting elements during energy production.
