Coco Banane and Savane des Pères: two solar plants as virtual tours, 26 panoramas
In November 2025 we produced virtual tours of two operating photovoltaic plants for Voltalia from two days of capture: 12 and 14 panoramas, tours online on 10 November, 2 cm per pixel orthophotos and source files handed over on the 18th.
Background
Voltalia operates several solar plants in French Guiana, including Coco Banane in Montsinéry and Savane des Pères in Sinnamary, which combines panels with battery storage; we had followed the construction of the latter in 2019. In September 2025 Voltalia’s asset manager in French Guiana ordered a virtual tour and an orthophoto of each site, and the communication department added video footage.
What we did
Both plants were covered in two consecutive days in early November. At Coco Banane, 12 panoramas: the entrance, the inverters, the transformer stations, the delivery substation, the control room and two aerial views. At Savane des Pères, 14 panoramas: the entrance, the site base, the buildings, the battery storage, the transformer and delivery stations, the embankment and the far end of the plant. Each tour includes a plan taken from the site orthophoto. The tours went online on 10 November 2025, with an offline version for Windows, then were updated on the 15th with the equipment designations supplied by the client; on the 18th we handed over the two GeoTIFF orthophotos at 2 cm per pixel, in EPSG 2972, and the tours’ source files. The video footage, at 25 frames per second and colour-graded, was delivered as soon as capture was finished, for the client’s own edits.
