French
construction
contractor
Solvéo
Energie
has
built
the
plant
in
the
municipality
of
Rion-des-Landes,
which
is
designed
to
create
ideal
cultivation
conditions
for
Ginseng
–
a
medicinal
plant
whose
roots
need
four
years
before
they
can
be
harvested
and
which
only
thrives
in
shady
areas.
Equipping
the
plantation
rooftop
with
solar
modules
also
helped
secure
financing
for
the
project.
“The
Rion-des-Landes
plant
demonstrates
how
synergies
with
solar
energy
can
successfully
bring
innovative
projects
forward,”
says
Charles
Kim,
president
of
Hanwha
Solar.
Kim
adds
that
France
is
one
of
the
company’s
key
markets…
