Crop agrivoltaic structure

Presentation
We provide agrivoltaic solutions designed to support agricultural productions (cereals, forage, horticulture, small fruits). The approach prioritizes an "agriculture-first" logic: solar systems are engineered to sustain crop production while generating energy, balancing protective shading and light exposure.

Operation
Dynamic agrivoltaics is based on mobile systems (controllable trackers) able to adjust panel orientation according to the sun path and crop requirements. Trackers optimize electricity yield while modulating shading to accommodate field operations and machinery clearance.

Benefits for crops

• Creates a favorable microclimate that reduces the impact of adverse weather events (hail, heavy rain, wind).
• Limits losses from winter frost and summer sunburn.
• Reduces evapotranspiration and can decrease irrigation needs.
• Maintains synergy between agricultural output and solar energy generation.

Provided solutions

• Mobile canopies for arable crops: widened inter-row spacing to support crop growth and machinery passage, landscape-mounted arrangement for improved water distribution.
• Semi-transparent canopies for small fruits and horticulture: designed to preserve photosynthesis, protect crops from weather, and optimize water use.

Additional information
Solutions are sized and adapted to crop type and parcel constraints (height, spacing, operational workflows). Systems can be fixed or equipped with controllable trackers to adjust tilt and orientation according to agronomic needs.
