Generating electricity from the sun’s rays is made possible with solar power
In 1839, French physicist Edmond Becquerel discovered solar energy!
During an experiment, he exposed electrodes to sunlight and observed the generation of an electric current, identifying what we now call the photovoltaic effect.
This discovery paved the way for the development of solar technology. And it is in his honor that we chose the name Edmond Solutions!
Production of electricity from solar energy
Capturing sunlight: Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells containing semiconductor materials such as silicon. When exposed to the sun, these cells absorb the light.
Photovoltaic effect: When sunlight strikes the photovoltaic cells, it excites the electrons within. This movement of electrons generates a continuous electric current.
Conversion into alternating current: The direct current produced by the photovoltaic cells is then converted into alternating current through an inverter.
Use of electricity: Once converted into alternating current, electricity can be:
- used directly to power household appliances,
- injected into the public grid,
- or stored in physical or virtual batteries for later use.
6 (très) bonnes raisons d’investir dans l’énergie solaire
Financial savings
By producing and consuming your own electricity, you reduce your monthly electricity bills — by an average of 50%, and up to 70% when combined with eco-friendly habits in daily life.
Budget stability
Unlike traditional electricity where prices regularly increase, the cost of solar energy remains stable over time. This secures your energy budget for the years to come.
Profitable and long-term investment
On average, it takes between 5 and 10 years to make a photovoltaic installation profitable. The solar panels offered by Edmond Solutions come with high levels of guarantees — up to 40 years depending on the installation type.
Property value enhancement
Solar panels are a real asset when reselling your property or professional premises. They can even become a decisive criterion for potential buyers.
Environmental commitment
Solar energy is clean and sustainable. By using this renewable source, you effectively reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to protecting the planet.
Additional income
By opting for the total resale of your green energy, you generate recurring annual income. Self-consumption with surplus resale also ensures additional revenue and speeds up your return on investment.
The Var and the Alpes-Maritimes, among the top 4 sunniest departments
As you know, sunlight is essential to activate the photovoltaic effect of solar panels and generate electricity.
Based in Fréjus, Edmond Solutions works on your photovoltaic projects in the Var and the Alpes-Maritimes, ranked respectively as the 1st and 4th sunniest departments in France.
