The extreme conditions

This solar field, installed on Réunion Island, features tropicalized collectors adapted to the local climate. The field withstood Tropical Cyclone Garance, which struck Réunion in March 2025, without any damage.

Cyclone Garance brought winds exceeding 215 km/h and heavy rainfall.
