Agrivoltaism
For over 10 years, Solveo Energies has helped farmers optimize their land’s production and support their energy transition through agrivoltaics.
We help farmers boost resilience and profitability with innovative structures like dynamic carports, shelters, and photovoltaic greenhouses.
Since 2011, our engineers and agronomists have been developing agrivoltaic projects that combine agricultural and solar production. We work closely with farmers to tailor solutions to their needs.
To better serve farmers, we collaborate with leading experts like Jardins d’Occitanie, FNO, INRAE, CIRAD, ASTREDHOR, Arterris, SICAREV, and others to create sustainable, field-ready solutions.
Cultiveo
Dynamic
Cultiveo Dynamic is a mechanical system designed to optimize plant growth. By protecting crops from weather conditions such as hail, frost, wind, and extreme heat, it enhances their resilience against climate change and helps improve both the quality and quantity of harvests. The system also incorporates the agronomic needs of the plants, using sensors and targeted irrigation to ensure optimal growth conditions throughout the day. This intelligent, coordinated control system allows for sustainable farming practices while reducing carbon footprints.
Physical protection (frost, pests)
Radiative protection (water stress, frost)
Support for equipment (nets, trellising)
Diversification of production under the installation
Sustained direct and indirect income
Cultiveo
greenhouses
Our solar greenhouses are tailored to your farm. They protect crops from weather conditions and ensure even sunlight distribution. These greenhouses collect rainwater and regulate temperature and humidity. By controlling the growing environment, Cultiveo greenhouses allow for crop diversification and longer production periods, supporting adaptive farming.

Contribution to ecological transition
Pasture
shades
Pasture shades improves animal well-being and protects against drought and predators. With adjustable height and spacing, it fits your farm’s layout and allows machinery to pass through. It works well with pasture resources, ensuring animals can move freely and is compatible with all grazing systems. The setup also includes essential farm features (such as holding pens, scrapers, and watering stations) and supports the long-term sustainability of your farm.
Improved forage yield during summer
Shelter for animals during bad weather or heatwaves
Fencing to protect against predators
Design adapted: non-harmful equipment, sufficient spacing for mechanization
Additional income for the farmer
Improved zootechnical performance of the herd
Field crops shades
Dynamic carports are designed for large-scale farms. A tracker system moves the shading across the plot to reduce plant water stress. The height and spacing of the structures can be adjusted based on your farming setup and equipment size. This system helps save water and inputs, supporting your farm’s investments
Carports suitable for all types of crops
Guaranteed long-term direct and indirect income
Increased biodiversity and beneficial organisms for crops

Highlights of our agrivoltaic projects
-
Flexibility of our solutions
Our agronomist engineers help tailor our solutions to your crops and farming systems throughout the project lifecycle.
-
Space optimization
Co-utilizing the same area for multiple productions.
-
Water resource preservation
The panels help retain water in plants and soil, and can also collect water for better optimization.
-
System integration
Solar panels can be designed to allow necessary light for crops below, while providing benefits such as controlled shading and protection from the elements.
-
Diversified income
Farmers can benefit from an additional source of income, ensuring long-term financial sustainability for the farm.
-
Support for the energy transition
Renewable energy production, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Biodiversity improvement
Some agrivoltaic systems can promote biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, particularly by integrating vegetated strips or complementary crops.
-
Sustainability
By combining agriculture and energy, agrivoltaics can contribute to more sustainable and resilient food systems in the face of climate change.
