Advantages
Plant-focused projects
Agriculture is at the heart of any agrivoltaics project. The panels allow optimal agricultural yield while protecting crops from the elements (frost, burns) and minimizing the need for irrigation.
Optimized space
The photovoltaic panels are placed over the fields, thus avoiding any reduction in the surface available for growing crops.
Diversification of your activities and income
Maximize the value of your agricultural plots by increasing your income thanks to rents for the use of the underused spaces and additional income in order to maintain and diversify your production.
Improvement in your daily quality of life
Enjoy a better balance between your professional and personal life. Thanks to the additional income generated by agrivoltaics, invest in modernizing your tools and optimizing your time.
AN INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
The solar panels are controlled in real time using an innovative technology to angle the panels according to the sun, weather conditions and growing needs of the plant, thus optimizing agricultural yield.
