Citizen science is becoming an effective approach in building a new relationship between science and society, in which the desire of citizens to participate actively in knowledge production meets the needs of researchers. A citizen science initiative dealing with the development of photovoltaics (PV) is presented. To generate a "responsible" initiative, the research question has been designed collectively from the beginning, involving diverse actors in order to encourage creativity while addressing their interests and concerns. The result has been called Generation Solar. It aims at co-creating an open database of PV installations including their technical characteristics, and an online map for visualizing them. The initiative responds to a clear scientific demand; an important drawback for researchers working on energy modelling and predictions of production lays precisely in the lack of information about these installations' locations and characteristics. The initiative invites citizens, companies and public institutions with a PV installation to collaborate by providing such data. Data will follow the format of Open Power System Data in order to be fully exploitable by the scientific community and society. The success of the initiative will rely on the capacity to mobilize citizens and register the largest possible number of installations worldwide.
公民科学正在成为构建科学与社会新关系的一种有效方法，在这种关系中，公民积极参与知识生产的愿望满足了研究人员的需求。本文介绍了一项关于光伏（PV）发展的公民科学倡议。为了发起一项“负责任”的倡议，研究问题从一开始就是集体设计的，让不同行为者参与其中，以激发创造力，同时关注他们的利益和关切。这一成果被称为“太阳能发电计划”。其目标是共同创建一个包含光伏装置技术特征的开放数据库，以及一个用于可视化这些装置的在线地图。该倡议回应了一项明确的科学需求；从事能源建模和产量预测的研究人员面临的一个重要缺陷恰恰在于缺乏有关这些装置位置和特征的信息。该倡议邀请拥有光伏装置的公民、公司和公共机构通过提供此类数据来进行合作。数据将采用开放电力系统数据的格式，以便科学界和社会能够充分利用。该倡议的成功将取决于动员公民并登记全球尽可能多装置的能力。
