"I expect the Ombrea solution to help me improve the quality of products under shade and save water by limiting irrigation" - Claude Sollier, farmer
Claude's project, carried out in collaboration with Société du Canal de Provence, is Ombrea's first installation in arboriculture. It involves a plot of plum trees in production, making the installation and use of Ombrea technology on the plot a real challenge. The feedback from this project will be all the more rapid, for an arboricultural sector whose difficulties are increasing in the context of climate change. The follow-up partnership with the La Pugère experimental station will enable us to highlight the effects of agrivoltaics on the plant cycle and on fruit production.

It's been a real pleasure to bring this project to fruition, thanks in particular to Claude's agricultural expertise and his passion for his profession. We're all looking forward to drawing the first conclusions from this experiment.
