Canigou Capital has specialised in solar projects for years and we currently have multiple projects in development stages. Solar power is a key player globally in countries reducing their carbon emissions. Solar projects vary in type, size and technology. At Canigou Capital we generally specialise in larger projects, such as ground mounted solar. We are also interested in innovative solar projects such as floating solar or large-scale rooftop solar often seen in industrial zones.

 

These types of project can produce enough electricity to contribute to the national grid, in doing so supporting the local community. Governments generally encourage solar projects and in many developed countries they are working towards making more rural areas, where solar projects can thrive, better connected to the national grid. This means that the infrastructure will be in place, where it hasn’t been before, in order for solar projects to expand.

 

Our solar projects normally run on a 25-year lease and once constructed require very little maintenance. The solar panels convert the light from the sun into electricity via photovoltaic cells. This electricity is then passed through a generator straight into the national grid, allowing counties to supplement their electricity supply with green energy. In countries such as France this means that they can begin to shut down nuclear power stations, hence reducing their carbon emissions. In other countries such as Australia, the infrastructure in rural areas is allowing huge projects to be placed where previously there was no way to connect the solar panels to the national grid.
