We chose to turn to agrivoltaics because we face significant challenges on our farm regarding grazing for dairy cows. In the summer, from early June to late September, we experience a lack of grass production and access to pastures. With the agriPV project, we hope to gain 15 days of grazing in June before the grass dries out and regain 15 days in September for faster grass regrowth. Urbasolar took on the challenge of installing solar panels above the cows rather than placing cows under solar panels. The priority is truly given to our agricultural activity, and thanks to the proposed arrangements, we will be able to improve animal welfare with features such as paths for the cows to access pastures, redistribution of grass parcels, and, of course, shade for the animals.
