5. Development of reasoned agrivoltaics
Agrivoltaics clearly represents considerable potential both for agriculture and for the energy transition, provided it is developed in concert with our territories. That said, we need to adopt a holistic approach to anticipate the challenges that photovoltaics associated with agriculture can pose, and to ensure that it is properly managed.
5.1 The challenges of photovoltaics on agricultural land
The economic value of an energy project is currently out of all proportion to that of a farming project: 1 hectare of photovoltaic panels generates an annual income of around €100,000, while the income per hectare from a vineyard in the Hérault region is less than €10,000. The balance of power is largely in favor of solar energy production, which is a legitimate cause...
