Emmanuel Macron\u2019s renewable energy drive. Legislation approved by the French Senate this week requires existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles to be covered by solar panels.<\/h2>\nThe owners of car parks with between 80<\/strong> and 400 spaces<\/strong> have five years to comply with the measures, while operators of those with more than 400 will have<\/strong> just 3 years. At least half of the area of the larger sites must be covered by solar panels.<\/p>\n The French government believes the measure could generate up to 11 gigawatts of power.<\/strong><\/p>\n Politicians had originally applied the bill to car parks larger than 2,500 sq metres<\/strong> before deciding to opt for car parking spaces.<\/strong> French politicians are also examining proposals to build large solar farms on empty land by motorways and railways as well as on farmland.<\/p>\n
