\nFrench automaker Renault has come up with a fabulously green way to shelter the cars that roll out of its assembly lines. The company has recently installed a canopy soaked through with solar panels that has been termed as “the world’s largest photovoltaic system in the auto industry”. The canopy generates green energy and also shelters the company\u2019s cars beneath. Six of Renault\u2019s production sites including Douai, Maubeuge, Flins, Batilly, Sandouville and Cl\u00e9on will make use of these systems covering 40 hectares or 400,000 square meters in all.

\nCapable of generating 52,600 MWh of electricity a year and reducing Co2 emissions by 200-tons annually, these solar panels will prove to be a boon for Renault, helping the automaker substantially reduce its carbon footprint in France.<\/p>\n
