Discover our agrivoltaic sites
Our methodology and current research projects to develop agri-energy in France are as follows
Our demonstrators enable us to analyze the impact of our solutions on crops and animals. Among these sites, we pilot agrivoltaic systems equipped with solar panels placed above the crops, in order to bring the right amount of light to the plants and create the ideal microclimate for their healthy growth. The results obtained enable us to improve the design of our projects under development and optimize their positive contribution at farm and regional level.
13 demonstrators throughout France

Our research projects and publications
Ecophysiological models are being developed by our Data Lab to better understand the impact of our shading systems on crops. This work is based in particular on the STICS model developed by INRAE, a simplified version of which - pySTICS - has been adapted to agrivoltaics by the Ombrea Data Lab. Models operating on a finer scale than the plot, called FSPM (Functional-Structural Plant Model), are also being developed to study various indicators describing crop development on a single scale (at plant or even leaf level), such as evapotranspiration or leaf temperature.
