Solar Harvest
Besides the rolling fields of lavender, France has something else on offer.
Here is the country's latest solar power installation. Covering 89 acres in Les Mées, the farms provide energy for 9,000 families each year.
Aesthetics and the surrounding landscape were important components in the design. According to Enfinity, the renewable energy company responsible for the construction:
"The photovoltaic panels, installed at the sites without the use of concrete foundations, will be recycled at the end of their 20 year life span – thus leaving behind healthy land that can be used for agriculture."
