A look at the work of environmentalists and solar energy
Environmentalists are mobilised to demand climate action
But they do not mobilise beyond themselves.
As long as environmentalists think about the climate, they do no harm
Environmentalists underestimate the difficulties of different economies
The economic situation is rather opposed to the development of renewable energies.
Solar and wind power have passed the threshold of childhood and can now develop on their own.

A look at how the world has been turned upside down by the coronavirus
All about health! All about health!
This affects the economic world
Measuring the effect of this coronavirus is still underestimated.
What about photovoltaics?
In one week, the world has turned upside down; there are some notes of hope
It is only a week since the containment has spread throughout France to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Only one week! It seems like an eternity, so much so that the information only revolves around the epidemic, the number of contaminated people, the number of deaths, the testimony of the efforts of doctors, the measures to be taken, the ministerial or presidential interventions.

A look at the effects of coronavirus on photovoltaics
There are facts and there are trends.
We know the facts today, but we don't know the consequences.
Coronavirus creates considerable losses in the economy
Scarcity of cash will disrupt economic circuits and reduce PV installations.
The liquidity or funding crisis may also develop into an economic crisis.
The situation in 2020 will be less conducive to photovoltaic construction
