Hector Berlioz Conservatory

Photowatt provides Bourgoin-Jallieu's Conservatoire Hector Berlioz with solar power

With its inauguration scheduled for next September, the Hector Berlioz Conservatory in Bourgoin-Jallieu, a cultural pillar of the Communauté d’Agglomération Porte de l’Isère (CAPI), is distinguished by its commitment to renewable energy. A total of 265 PHOTOWATT photovoltaic modules, type PW60LHT-C, were installed on the roof.

These solar panels, each with a capacity of 365 Wp, are designed to capture solar energy and convert it into electricity, helping to cover a significant proportion of the building’s energy needs. This initiative places the conservatory at the forefront of sustainable innovation, while underlining the importance of integrating renewable energies into public infrastructures.

The local community welcomes this step forward, which strengthens the image of the Hector Berlioz Conservatory as a modern, environmentally-friendly and forward-looking facility. Students and visitors who pass through its doors will discover an establishment where culture and sustainable development meet in harmony.
