The approachs to be carried out for the installation of a solar power station are rather complicated, because it will take you at least 6 months on average to obtain the authorizations necessary. The production time is function of the area of establishment and in parallel, certain people receiving benefits of the sector can propose to you to take all the steps useful to your place.
Administrative authorizations
The installation of solar modules is conditioned by obtaining the related administrative authorizations. More particularly, the fitters must respect the plan of the building authority as for the color and the aspect of the roofs.
To profit from it, the required documents are inter alia a building permit, but also an urban compliance certificate. The request must be addressed to the level of the town halls which are given the responsibility then to give their consent.
The requests are consisted by a building permit or of declaration of work which one fills and which one deposits at the office of the commune. The results are got at the end of seven to thirty days.
According to your community, the procedure can be shortened in certain cases what explains why in certain areas, a simple declaration of work can be used. For new constructions on the other hand, best is always to declare the installation of solar panels with the initial building permit.
Since March 2008, the administrative approaches were simplified for the installations intended to produce less than 36 kVA. And the declaration near the town hall is obligatory with regard to the photovoltaic panels installed with a height of more than 12 meters.
Procedure of connection to the EDF network
To be able to resell the energy produced by his installation, the owner of the project must sign two types of contract. He must initially sign a contract of connection to the distribution network as well as a contract of purchase of solar electricity.
The first makes it possible to inject the local production with the traditional electrical communication, an obligatory agreement to profit from the access to the domestic network. The procedure consists in filling a card with collection of information accompanied by the copy by the receipt by the building permit or preliminary declaration. There is also a certificate of conformity of the installation to fill, signed by the project superintendent and certified by the National committee for the Safety of the Users of Electricity (CONSUEL).
The second as for him allows to define the terms in which the sale of produced electricity will be done, signed with the EDF or by the Local companies of Distribution. The tariffs of purchases are fixed in regulations.
Actors in the contract of connection
The organizations concerned with the contract of connection are the ERDF, EDF AOA, the local controls and the DIDEME which collects the declaration to exploit. There is also the DRIRE where one presents the request for certificate which entitles to the obligation of purchase, the insurer and the professionals charged with the installation of the panels.
Several associations help the people who wish to install photovoltaic panels on their premises. That is chronologically established according to the various stages to carry out. There exist also assistances to deal with all the relative files with the installation of the solar panel. |
