A field of solar panels on the remote Pacific island of Grand Terre, New Caledonia’s largest island, is being constructed in the shape of a heart for local beverage company Froico SA.
Constructed by Conergy Australia, the field will save an estimated 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions over its projected 25-year lifespan. “The ‘Heart of New Caledonia’ is a giant heart-shaped message to the government that it’s time to start loving solar,” says David McCallum, managing director of Conergy Australia.
