The Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Energy

Egyptians in Africa were the first people known to use solar energy on a large scale to heat their homes, designating them in a way that could store up the sun''s heat during the day and release it at night. Fast forward to

Inauguration of the Hamaha plant in Mayotte

The plant incorporates an energy storage mechanism using Lithium-ion batteries. These batteries enable solar production to be smoothed out and 3.5 MWh – i.e. the electricity produced by the plant in 3 hours – to be stored.

The first solar panels were installed in 2009, and are not associated with storage. The installed capacity is 13 MW, in particular via the Longoni power plant, inaugurated in 2010. Solar energy is the only renewable energy with significant development potential on the island; the wind potential (22 MW according to a study) would not lead to a significant production because the wind blows only 6 months per year.

Production of renewable energy in Mayotte

HAMAHA, in Mamoudzou, makes use of a non-buildable former landfill, thanks to the installation of 1.2 MWp of solar panels on a now secured site. A 2.5 MWh battery will also allow for injection at peak hours in the evening.
