This illustrates our long-standing partnership with INRA in the development of agrivoltaic systems. The goal of the Sun’Agri project is to put in place systems that combine agricultural and electricity production on the same plot of land. These systems, known as dynamic agrivoltaics (mobile solar panels), are designed to optimise agricultural production.
During its formal session on 25 September 2013, the French Academy of Agriculture presented its annual awards and medals. Among the recipients was Hélène Marrou, the first doctoral student to conduct research on our fixed agrivoltaic system, who was singled out for the quality of her work. Hélène Marrou defended her thesis, which was financed by Sun’R, an energy producer, …

Sun’Agri 3 is one of the winners of funding for investments in the future, as part of ADEME’s “Eco-efficient Industry and Agriculture” call for projects. The programme brings together a multidisciplinary consortium consisting of six partners and has a total budget of approximately €15 million. This third phase of our R&D project aims to demonstrate the suitability of dynamic agrivoltaics …
The Domaine de Nidolères in the Pyrénées-Orientales department is preparing to plant 4.5 hectares of vines under an agrivoltaic system by the beginning of 2018: a world first for viticulture. The agrivoltaic installation will be implemented on a plot of land that has been fallow for almost 10 years. Pierre Escudié, the winegrower, will thus expand his vineyard from 25 …
