The role of solar energy in climate action

Faced with the climate emergency, the energy transition is an urgent necessity. Among the available solutions, solar energy holds a central place: it helps reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen the resilience of our grids, and support global climate justice. This article breaks down the main advantages and challenges of solar power in the fight against global warming.

A clean and inexhaustible source of energy

Zero direct CO₂ emissions

Unlike others, solar energy does not emit greenhouse gases during electricity production.

Inexhaustible resource

Solar radiation is available everywhere, continuously, without any resource limitation.

No local pollution

No fine particles, no toxic waste — just a clean, safe, and responsible choice for you and the planet.

Water-efficient technology

Solar energy consumes very little water, making it ideal for arid regions or areas experiencing water stress.

Challenges and innovation prospects

  • Storage: batteries, green hydrogen… technologies are developing to overcome intermittency.
  • Panel recycling: setting up systems to recover and reuse materials (silicon, metals).
  • Efficiency optimization: new photovoltaic cells, bifacial panels, solar trackers…
  • Low water consumption: solar energy consumes very little water, making it ideal for arid regions or areas experiencing water stress.
