About us
The SunAgri programme occurred in several stages:
- 2009 – 2012: Sun’Agri 1. The main results showed that in full panel density, yields are strongly reduced (around 40%). In semi-density panels (30% shade), some crops have maintained the same yield or increased it compared to control crops (without panels).
- 2013 – 2017: Sun’Agri 2. Development of the software and hardware and implementation of the first agrivoltaic model over lettuce and vine. Panels are mobile. Two options:
One presenting a modelling of the ecophysiological development of lettuce. (source : http://www.theses.fr/2017NSAM0017)
And one presenting a water loss assessment model under the dynamic agrivoltaic system. (source : http://www.theses.fr/2017NSAM0049) - 2017 – 2022: Sun’Agri 3. This is the demonstration phase. Agrivoltaism has been fully deployed in real conditions.
