Market gardening is a family tradition; my grandfather started it, my father continued, and then it was my turn to take over the operation. To meet growing demand, I decided to develop lamb’s lettuce cultivation, but I needed to increase my production and extend my calendar. So, I decided to turn to an efficient production tool: a photovoltaic greenhouse.
It’s a delicate crop that we plant and harvest carefully by hand. It was essential for me that the agricultural project remained the priority. I didn’t want to enter this commercial market without being certain that the tool would ensure production security and high-quality lamb’s lettuce for customers.
The tool meets my needs as a farmer and contributes to the energy transition through green electricity production. The greenhouse covers 9,000 m², and Urbasolar’s teams did a meticulous, customized job to best meet the constraints of lamb’s lettuce cultivation. It secures production against particularly harmful weather conditions for this type of salad, ensuring supply. Its tracker technology allows me to maintain solar radiation during the winter, adjust the internal climate, and therefore extend my production calendar.
