solar photovoltaic areas

Combining agriculture and solar energy

Agrivolatism is the result of the synergy between an agricultural operation and a photovoltaic power station. The installation is designed around and for the agricultural operation.

Since 2008, Photosol has developed its expertise in agrivoltaics in conjunction with sheep farming. Thanks to our expertise, we are now able to adapt our solutions to projects related to all agricultural sectors, such as:

  • Market gardening or the production of fruit and vegetables outdoors
  • Chicken farming, fattened ducks, cattle farming
  • Production of herbs, raspberries and grapevines
  • The production of hay and grain.
