COP26, the 26th edition of the Conference of the Parties (COP) on climate, opened in Glasgow, Scotland (United Kingdom) on Sunday, October 31. We go to meet those who act on their small scale for the climate.
Some generate solar energy, thanks to photovoltaic panels.
Act on its own scale for the climate
For two years, Marc Muré, living in the region of Colmar, installed 16 solar panels on the roof of his house, they are south facing. It is green, local electricity, without CO2 emissions. This installation allows this Haut-Rhin to make a commitment on its own scale for the planet.

“Everyone, at their own level, must do the job, it will not be done only with centralized decisions. With this installation, I pay as much electricity to EDF as EDF pays me, the balance sheet is therefore zero. . The energy transition is not only photovoltaic panels, it is also necessary to stop the overconsumption of energy and that is already a big progress, “ argues this retired physicist.
An installation which has a cost, the depreciation of its installation will be done in ten years.
Village power stations are on the rise
Marc Muré does not stop there in his commitment to the planet, he is also one of the 120 individuals who have invested money in the village center of Weiss. An organization that allows and facilitates the installation of photovoltaic panels in the Kaysersberg valley.
At present, it produces energy for 70 families for one year, It’s not nothing. “We show with projects like this that in everyday life, we can change our way of producing energy, while keeping the same comfort and the same uses, comments Richard Lemoine, he is a member of the management board of the village center of the Weiss valley.
For two years, 14 roofs are fitted with photovoltaic panels in the Kaysersberg valley. They are on public buildings, but are also installed in private homes.
