Renault inaugurates the world''s largest
Renault''s photovoltaic installations will help to make a 200-tonne reduction in the CO2 emitted annually by electric engine production (calculated on the basis of the energy mix in France),
After years of promises by automakers, V2G is about to get its first major trial, and solar energy will play a key part. Renault Group, along with MyWheels and We Drive Solar, will launch a vehicle-to-grid charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands, using a fleet of Renault 5 E-Tech hatches that are part of a car-sharing service.
Committed to the energy transition for more than 10 years, Renault Group has announced its intention to accelerate the decarbonisation of its plants in France.
Utrecht's widespread usage of solar panels, coupled with a V2G system, points to a future in which EVs could rely heavily on solar power while also delivering benefits to the local power grid, at least in theory.

The system has been developed by Renault together with partner Gestamp Solar and, at Cléon, with Coruscant. While this is already the world''s largest photovoltaic system in the automotive
The contract covers a total capacity of 350 megawatts, representing the production of approximately 500 gigawatt hours per year. With a duration of 15 years, this is an unprecedented
Carmaker Renault is rolling out photovoltaic panels over six of its French production sites that will add up to the largest solar array in the automotive sector.
Renault is thus continuing its commitment to the environment; future vehicles are also receiving enhanced protection before leaving the factory. The Trina Solar panels thus arranged have
