Photovoltaic Greenhouses
How does a solar greenhouse work?
Your agricultural project is at the heart of our shared concerns and forms the foundation of our partnership. With this in mind, we have developed a range of solar greenhouse solutions that meet the highest quality standards, particularly from an agricultural perspective. Our greenhouse models are efficient tools designed to meet your needs, combined with a more sustainable energy production for our planet.
We design them to help you diversify, protect, optimize, and develop your crops according to your specific criteria.
Our expertise at the service of your farm
We are fully aware of the challenges and expectations of the agricultural world. It is our long-standing experience alongside farmers that has allowed us to combine agricultural and photovoltaic expertise. Over the course of our collaborations, we have seen a wide variety of crops grow under our greenhouses: strawberries, avocados, lettuce, tomatoes, kiwis, zucchinis…
We have capitalized on this field expertise to continue improving our agricultural production tools and innovating with the goal of moving towards more virtuous and sustainable agriculture.

Our commitment also continues with rigorous agronomic monitoring of crops. Furthermore, for all our solutions, we integrate a continuous Research and Development policy in terms of optimization, both from an agricultural and electrical production perspective. We collaborate with numerous scientific, technical, and institutional organizations to ensure agricultural monitoring and optimize production in a continuous improvement approach.
Among them, we can mention:
A member of the Club Partenaires of Légumes de France, we share their vision of virtuous agriculture in synergy with sustainable energy production. Thus, directly alongside French market gardeners, we contribute to building a responsible and sustainable agricultural model.
What are the advantages of a photovoltaic greenhouse?
Offering optimized climate management and high luminosity, solar greenhouses contribute to the development of agricultural activity and product quality. They offer numerous advantages:
PROTECT
crops from extreme weather events (rain, wind, hail…), pests (organic farming, integrated pest management, PBI), and diseases.
DIVERSIFY
your crops.
IMPROVE
your productivity & working conditions.
DEVELOP & MODERNIZE
your farm while limiting your investments to agricultural equipment alone.
ELIMINATE
the need for phytosanitary treatments.
PRODUCE
decarbonized and local energy.

They trust us
We initiated the photovoltaic greenhouse project with Urbasolar to replace our two obsolete greenhouse units. The entire project development took about two years. The partnership with Urbasolar was based on trust, dialogue, and finding solutions tailored to our farming profession. This photovoltaic greenhouse offers us an air volume, height, and luminosity of the production tool that we had never seen before! Today, we produce strawberries and raspberries in it. Our employees are very satisfied with the working conditions, which are much more comfortable than with our old greenhouses.

This photovoltaic greenhouse spans 3.5 hectares and allows the market gardener located in Castelnaudary to protect sensitive crops from frost and diversify production over longer periods.
Annual electricity production: 4.6 GWh, equivalent to the consumption of 2,170 people.
Capacity:
4 MWp
Vegetables (cucumbers, zucchinis, eggplants, etc.) - 47
This photovoltaic greenhouse on a market-gardening farm in the Lot-et-Garonne region covers 4 hectares. Its height and luminosity enable the farmer to develop and diversify his production.
Annual electricity production: 4.8 GWh, equivalent to the consumption of 2,300 people.
Capacity:
3,4 MWp
Tree farming - 33
The farmer decided to install a photovoltaic greenhouse in order to start growing new types of crops, such as kiwifruit. Covering an area of over 3.5 hectares, the solar greenhouse houses several hundred plants, which have produced over 100,000 fruits in just one year.
Annual electricity production 4.2 GWh, equivalent to the annual consumption of 2,000 people.
