Editor's note: Even if governments are aware of the need to accelerate the deployment of solar energy, it takes a certain amount of time to achieve this: Whether it is the selection of a location, the study of the installation and also the administrative authorisations. The time needed for this is measured in half-years or even years. The energy crisis is in 2021 and will have its effects in 2022, long before the famous deployment can take place!
