However, France remains a very interesting playground for agrivoltaics. The potential land that can be mobilized for a photovoltaic installation is estimated at 16 million hectares, or just over 50% of the land.
Can PV panels be installed on agricultural areas in France?
The French government has published long-anticipated rules defining conditions for installing PV panels on agricultural areas, with consideration for the coverage rate and acceptable loss of agricultural yield. From pv magazine France The French government has published the long-awaited Decree No. 2024-318 in the country's official journal.
Can agrivoltaics be used in agriculture?
The integration of PV in agricultural activities represents a permanent challenge, because energy performance sometimes comes into conflict with the optimal development of crops as well as with the preservation of the landscape. As a result, agrivoltaics systems have very distinct production models from conventional PV installations.
