Amance's agrivoltaics project
The Key infos
The agrivoltaics project :
- Location: Amance, Haute Saône
- SAU of the farm: 850ha
- Project size: 3ha + 2ha sample
- Agricultural production: Field crops in conservation agriculture (Soybeans, wheat, winter barley, rapeseed, etc.)
It was important to us to maintain agricultural production, which is our core business, while at the same time being able to produce electricity in the heart of the region. TSE's agricultural canopy was the most flexible and open : all our equipment passes under the structure, which is positioned at a height of 5m.
