“I don’t know of any other companies doing the same thing as me. But after all, no one knows me either. And that’s not what I’m looking for.” At the end of a strip of land at the exit of the town of Caudecoste, David Lescout’s hangar is next to photovoltaic panels facing the ground, below a wind turbine in action. By way of proof by example, this trained electrician, who has been living here for six years, has installed an autonomous solar power plant to meet his energy needs. “And since then, I have never paid a bill. If the sun fails, especially in winter, David Lescout can count on a diesel generator to take over.
Energy study
After a busy professional life leaving little room for what he considers today as essential, David Lescout set up his business selling photovoltaic and battery equipment, assistance services, advice, allowing him to pursue his research to exploit electricity production systems using renewable energies, whether solar or wind. “I only work by word of mouth. I have been setting up autonomous solar power plants for a little over five years. But the first thing I do with my clients is to carry out an energy study of their home or business”.
To adapt to needs, David Lescout does not systematically recommend a photovoltaic installation. “It depends on consumer habits. If the heating is all electric and it is turned on at a time when there is no sun, the installation of panels will not lower the bills”, he illustrates. “We are not going to install anything, just anyhow. »
“I use electric car batteries, reconditioned with new elements, to store the energy produced by the panels”.

“I discovered the technology produced in Taiwan. There, they are ten years ahead. And started to practice tests, for a year, to arrive at perfectly autonomous power stations. When it comes to energy independence, storage is key. A parameter perfectly integrated by David Lescout who, through a mixture of techniques, optimizes the capacities of his installations. “I use electric car batteries, reconditioned with new elements. Because a classic electrical installation consumes permanently, even at night. Me, at night, I use the energy stored in the batteries. And since the energy is independent of the grid, I don’t experience any cost increases”.

Thanks to his first inverters installed in a garage, the ingenious electrician can monitor his solar energy production in real time. “There, we see a consumption of 200 watts and a production of 700, the surplus going into the batteries. With this system, unnecessary energy is not produced. »
If customers also appreciate using the services of David Lescout, it is because they are involved in their installations. “They install their panels, or have them done, and I take care of mounting the power stations. I also provide assistance by telephone, throughout France. And anyone who travels in his Logan topped with a photovoltaic panel and equipped with a battery that can recharge an electric car or restore electricity to a home, continues his innovations, like an autonomous and mobile solar power plant , being designed in its shed. “I don’t invent technologies, they already exist! he smiles.
