It would.
But there is no electricity in the shed to power it.
@billybutcher How about an overhead cable on a catenary wire ?
Depends how far the shed is away from electricity and it could get very expensive compared to the solar solution depending upon how the regs treat something like this.

And ugly
Indeed. If I needed to do this I would prefer a buried cable. Much more expensive though.
Oh, I might try and take some photos of the pylons on the way to Ăle dâOlĂ©ron the next time we go⊠Theyâre all home to heron nests perched at the top.
I also chuckled at this recentlyâŠ

I donât fancy overhead but Iâm going to be sorting a trench across the garden anyway to take the discharge from the cellar pump out to the soak away at the edge of the garden.

As pylons go I prefer this type.

Probably not the approved solution, but a few lengths of scaffolding tube provide excellent protection for an underground cable.
You are right its not. Depth and the coloured grillage above the services makes a good indicator of whats 200mm below. Total depth 600mm, 800mm under a driveway. EDF specâd this coloured grillage in the UK as well but didntcomply with their own regulation, dont ask how I know 
Do they ever ?
There are the rules, and then there is the way that French companies and workmen do things.
I see the grillage in use alot in France, have several 25m rolls myself
Yes, itâs absolutely required for all buried services; red for electricity, blue for water, green for telecoms & yellow for gas, all at their appropriate depths.
Let us also not forget the need to use the correct colour & appropriately sized gaines too (as opposed to scaffold tube 
).

I was about to start a new thread then found this one.
Has anyone tried the Ecoflow Stream âplug and playâ system? Reviews of it have popped up in my YouTube feed lately and it looks interesting.
Apparently itâs selling very well in Germany.
Whether it is or not, part of marketing is to always show something is working really well somewhere else.
If people are buying it in droves and are happy with the product, thatâs called âcustomer satisfactionâ not marketing. 
I have no idea if itâs any good, thatâs why I asked the question - but a million Germans apparently do like it (or similar systems).
Which again can be the marketing. When you learn marketing you know both of these.
Anyway back to your topic.
Whilst all in favour of solar personal generation, there is a worry that people do not understand the technical and angles of panels, direction of panels on balconies may well make folk think solar doesnât work. I see vertical mounted 3-4kw systems mostly in shade on the wrong side of a building. Almost certainly sold to by the cowboy installers.
On the up side, France should definitely re visit the stupid restrictions they have in place
On many facets of life. They seem to invent laws for fun. (breathalysers in cars, chimney must be professionally swept, no garden shed larger than 5sqm unless planned and taxed, no car washing on the street, speed limits down then up dependingâŠ. and Iâm not including the really silly ones 10 funny, outdated, and weird laws in France | Expatica )
