COMPANY BROCHURE The Floating Solar Expert www.cieletterre.net
WHO WE ARE Pioneer of the solar PV industry since 2006 Ciel & Terre designs, finances and operatest large-scale photovoltaic systems Ciel & Terre has been developing large-scale solar power plants for commercial, government and non-profit institutions since 2006. We are recognised for the quality of our solar systems and for our technical innovations. Ciel & Terre manages all aspects of the development process by providing design, engineering, financing, legal, construction, operation and maintenance services for rooftop, ground-mount or floating solar systems. We currently operate and maintain 55 solar power plants, and we have built over 50MWp of rooftop, ground and floating solar systems. With a recognised know-how in the integration of photovoltaic power plants in buildings or on ground, as well as sustained efforts in Research & Development, Ciel & Terre is fully dedicated to innovative floating solar solutions since 2011. As the worldwide floating solar pioneer and expert, we have been working hard to make floating solar system an efficient alternative to ground mounted system, in terms of costs, output and profitability. We now provide our patented Hydrelio technology all over the world.

floating solar PV system The innovative floating solar platform Hydrelio allows standard PV panels to be installed on large bodies of water such as drinking water reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds. A simple and affordable alternative to ground-mount solar systems, Hydrelio is particularly suitable for energy and water-intensive industries who cannot afford to waste either land or water. Wineries, dairy farms, fish farms, mining companies, wastewater treatment plants, irrigation districts and water agencies are all examples of organisations who benefit from the synergy that our system creates between sun and water. 7 patents & community trade mark registered Sheeplands Farm, UK - 200 kwp 3
