Solar Potential
Measure solar irradiance and identify the highest-performing zones for photovoltaic installations.
Renewable Energy
Space technology serving the energy transition
Even before construction begins, satellites enable the identification of the best sites, assessment of their potential and anticipation of environmental constraints.
Once operational, they help optimise production, monitor assets and strengthen the resilience of energy infrastructure.

Context
The success of a renewable energy project depends on a thorough understanding of the territory, climate conditions and environmental constraints.
Satellites provide a global, continuous and objective view that reduces uncertainties and secures investments.
This permanent observation capability enables organisations to:
