It’s my job

Corfu Solaire is involved in the development, construction and commissioning of solar power plants with a focus on good integration into the territory. On a daily basis, my goal is twofold. In the development phase, I provide project support for the design and optimization of solar power plants in order to reduce the cost of electricity and increase profitability. In the construction phase, I am responsible for the management of the projects until the commissioning and the transfer to the operations department. This assignment gives me a very broad view of the technical and economic side of the projects.

After his studies at the Ecole des Mines, Christophe Fels started his career as a project manager for off-grid solar applications in West Africa, a position he held for seven years.
Following a first experience as a project manager in South Africa for the construction of ground-mounted solar power plants, he joined an inverter manufacturer and refined his technical knowledge in conversion and plant design. At the beginning of the year, he joined Corfu Solaire as engineering and construction manager.
