Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaics is the combination of agricultural activities and photovoltaic installations, offering numerous benefits for farmers, farms, as well as the environment and society.

As a pioneer in agrivoltaics, Photosol designs tailored installations that allow farmers to enhance their operations while maintaining sustainable and viable farming practices.

Agrivoltaics thus ensures the longevity of agricultural operations while providing clean energy to households.

Do you want to equip your farm with an agrivoltaic installation?

« Coming from a non-agricultural background, it is very difficult for young people wanting to start their own farm to find land. My meeting with the Photosol teams allowed me to consider setting up an agricultural operation. I was able to benefit from support from the team regarding equipment investments, including mobile fences to partition the fields and improve grazing, barriers for sheep containment, and a livestock trailer to transport the equipment and sheep from pasture to pasture. Starting from scratch, I was able to establish myself with 100 Solognote sheep, now 150, on around 40 hectares. Agrivoltaics is a real opportunity for the sustainability of our French agriculture. »

Ornella, Farmer-breeder in Loir et Cher

« I worked with Photosol to design a project that integrates my agricultural operation and crops. Together, we decided to install an innovative photovoltaic technology based on a tracker system that follows the sun’s movement, maximizing renewable electricity production, while taking into account the space required for my agricultural equipment and the size of my crop production. The spacing between the photovoltaic structures and their height were adjusted to meet my needs.

This project allows me to maintain cereal production on my land in Haute-Vienne, preserve the financial balance of my operation, and therefore develop a sustainable and transferable agricultural model. »
