The company
Sun’Agri Pioneer of dynamic agrivoltaism
Sun’Agri originated in 2009 when 2 men crossed paths: Christian Dupraz agroforestry researcher at INRAE and Antoine Nogier, Chairman and founder of Sun’R group. At the time the objective was to understand the conditions in which photovoltaics could improve agriculture without competing with it.
3 research programs of increasing scale were successively implemented over a decade under the supervision of Sun’R and the participation of INRAE and in time joined by iTK and Photowatt. The programs initially focused on fundamental research and have confirmed the benefits of step-by-step dynamic agrivoltaism. Today the ongoing programs focus on the development of operational models and algorithms controlling the panels, in order to get the optimum effect, as well as large scale demonstrators of the systems.
Sun’agri became a subsidiary dedicated to dynamic agrivoltaism projects and above all to the development of panels’ optimal controlling tools and models (for plants). Sun’Agri is the trailblazer and world leader of dynamic agrivoltaic technology.
