In recent years, the pursuit of low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and green event hosting has become a hallmark of international sports spectacles, and the recently Paris 2024 Olympics has elevated this green aspiration to unprecedented heights. From the outset of preparations, the Paris Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (COJOG) set an ambitious goal: to reduce carbon emissions by 50% compared to the previous two Summer Olympics, strictly limiting them to approximately 1.75 million tons. Tony Estanguet, the President of COJOG, made a solemn pledge: "We are determined to achieve this goal and contribute our part to the future of our planet."
To realize this green vision, COJOG poured its heart and soul into every aspect of the Games, from venue construction to living environments, transportation to catering services, implementing a series of innovative and efficient environmental protection measures. Notably, in the realm of venue construction, the Paris Olympics embraced green, eco-friendly, and sustainable principles, deeply integrating new energy technologies into the construction of the Olympic Village, with the widespread application of solar photovoltaic technology shining as a brilliant highlight of the green Olympics.

Solar Photovoltaics: A Radiant Source of Green Power
COJOG ingeniously integrated solar photovoltaic technology into every corner of the Olympics, a groundbreaking move that not only effectively reduced energy consumption in the Olympic Village but also significantly curbed environmental pollution, vividly illustrating the Paris Olympics' unwavering commitment to green and low-carbon lifestyles. On the roofs of buildings and in core areas of the Olympic Village, solar photovoltaic panel clusters shimmer like stars, not only adorning the structures with a blend of technology and nature but also converting sunlight into a continuous flow of clean electricity, powering various living facilities and services within the village. Remarkably, these panels will continue to supply electricity to the community even after the Olympics, preserving the invaluable legacy of the green Games for future generations.
Furthermore, the transit hall of the Olympic Village boasts an innovative temporary roof made of solar photovoltaic fabric, providing athletes with convenient shade while also ensuring continuous power supply to nearby buildings, showcasing the versatility and practicality of solar photovoltaic technology.

Aquatics Centre: A Model of Green Architecture
The Aquatics Centre stands out as a highlight of the Paris Olympics, with its unique architectural style and advanced green technologies capturing the world's attention. Nearly the entire 5,000-square-meter roof of this venue is covered with photovoltaic panels, making it one of the largest urban solar power plants in France and even Europe. These panels not only provide ample green energy for the daily operation of the venue but also demonstrate the immense potential and broad application prospects of solar technology in modern architecture.
Moreover, the floating solar power station on the Seine River is a breathtaking masterpiece. This 400-square-meter mobile and detachable power station leverages the unique advantages of water resources, not only exhibiting the flexibility and innovation of solar technology but also meeting the electricity needs of 82 apartment buildings within the Olympic Village with its 78 kWp design capacity, ensuring a stable and reliable supply of green power for athletes.

Solar Mounting Systems: A Solid Foundation for Green Dreams
Behind the successful implementation of these solar photovoltaic projects, solar mounting systems play a pivotal role as essential support structures. With scientific designs and optimized layouts, they ensure the stable operation of photovoltaic panels under various weather conditions and enhance the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic systems. It is these robust solar mounting systems that serve as a sturdy backbone, supporting the Paris Olympics in its steadfast pursuit of green, eco-friendly, and sustainable goals.
Conclusion: Building a Greener Future Together
In conclusion, the Paris Olympics has made remarkable contributions and achievements in promoting green, eco-friendly, and sustainable principles. The widespread application of solar photovoltaic technology has not only injected a powerful green impetus into the Games themselves but also infused new vitality and hope into the global green energy industry. Through these innovative environmental protection measures and the promotion of green technologies, the Paris Olympics strives to become the first Olympic Games in line with the spirit of the 2015 Paris Agreement, setting a new benchmark for green, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly large-scale events in the future. We have every reason to believe that with the continuous advancement of solar photovoltaic and other green technologies, the world of tomorrow will become even more beautiful and sustainable.
