Feu solaire du cap Cerbère

The construction of the lighthouse at Cap Cerbère was necessitated by the removal of the old lighthouse at the port of Cerbère. The high cliffs of the site were selected, with the stipulation that no overhead electrical lines be installed to preserve the landscape. The challenge of supplying isolated areas with pure and autonomous energy sources is often significant. Photovoltaic conversion of solar energy provides a solution, especially for low-energy applications, such as navigation lights. The energy consumption in such isolated locations is minimal, requiring complete safety, making photovoltaic generators highly suitable for these conditions.
