Calvi Shipyards (CNC Algajola) solar rooftop

A solar rooftop serving the local economy

With the Calvi Shipyards (CNC Algajola) project in Balagne, Corsica Sole continues to roll out high-performance photovoltaic solutions across Corsica, commissioning 350 kWp of installed capacity in the Balagne region. This project demonstrates the company’s ability to transform existing infrastructure into effective assets for the production of locally generated renewable energy.

Installed on the roof of the CNC Algajola nautical facility, the photovoltaic plant makes full use of all available surfaces, without any additional land take. The solar panels have been integrated across the entire roof area of the hangars, ensuring optimal exposure and efficient energy production throughout the year.

An optimised configuration for sustainable generation

The project stands out through the installation of two photovoltaic plants on the same building, with respective capacities of 250 kWp and 100 kWp. This configuration allows the full solar potential of the existing structure to be harnessed, while ensuring a reliable, durable supply of locally produced green electricity.

With a total installed capacity of 350 kWp, the plant generates a significant volume of renewable energy, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of several dozen households. It also contributes directly to reducing CO₂ emissions and strengthening local energy autonomy.

A project aligned with Corsica Sole’s mission

The CNC Algajola project fully reflects Corsica Sole’s mission to:

• Accelerate the production of locally generated renewable energy,
• Optimise the use of existing built assets,
• Make a tangible contribution to the energy autonomy of island territories.

Developed on existing infrastructure, these photovoltaic plants illustrate a pragmatic and responsible approach to solar energy, combining energy performance, land-use efficiency and territorial integration.

Local collaboration in support of the energy transition

The successful delivery of the project was based on close collaboration with local stakeholders, notably Solaire Corse, which was responsible for the installation. Their technical expertise ensured that the project’s requirements were met and that it was implemented under optimal conditions.

Beyond the installed capacity, the CNC Algajola project highlights Corsica Sole’s ability to design, develop and operate photovoltaic plants tailored to the realities of the Corsican territory, relying on strong and lasting partnerships to deliver a concrete, locally grounded energy transition.
