Enhance Your Land with Photovoltaics
Why enhance your land?
We offer photovoltaic solutions to enable private or public landowners to enhance their land. To do this, we take charge of the development, installation, and operation of a solar plant.
Choosing to install a photovoltaic plant allows you to benefit from economic and environmental benefits at the local level:
- Rehabilitate unused land with a project that fully integrates into the local economic ecosystem.
- Benefit from substantial additional income through rent and generated taxes.
- Address regulatory challenges related to sustainable development for communities.
- Bring electricity production centers closer to consumers, avoiding losses related to excessive connection distances.
- Give an ecological second life to the land by implementing environmental measures to support fauna and flora.
- Promote your eco-responsible approach and commitment to local and national energy transition.
Which sites can be used for solar energy?
The installation of a photovoltaic plant must comply with urban planning, environmental, and heritage regulations. If you own land or a body of water that meets the following criteria, we can propose the most suitable photovoltaic solution:
Land of 2 to 3 hectares.
- Polluted land, industrial wasteland.
- Former mines or quarries.
- Former landfills or waste storage facilities.
- Former airfields or disused airport areas.
- Disused river, port, road, or rail areas.
- Sites in SEVESO danger zones or areas with high or very high risk according to a PPRT.
- Military land with pyrotechnic pollution.
- Areas to be urbanized, industrial wastelands, underutilized ZACs.
Land of 8 to 10 hectares.
- Artificial water bodies (former mines, retention basins, etc.).
- Grazing land for sheep or cattle.
- Arboricultural, viticultural, or market gardening land of 2 to 7 hectares minimum.
- Buildable land according to urban planning regulations.
Our photovoltaic solutions
to enhance your land
We work closely with local authorities, industries, and many other landowners to help them enhance their land.
As a photovoltaic technical expert, Urbasolar adapts to the various challenges of its stakeholders. We conduct studies (geotechnical, hydrological, environmental, etc.) in partnership with experts and analyze the most suitable solution through our in-house design office composed of engineers (systems, networks, structures, etc.).
Thanks to this expertise, we can propose the most suitable technical solution for your site.
They trust us
We had a quarry that had been unused since 2008. What were we going to do with this site considered a blank zone, with no impact on agricultural land, and without environmental degradation? The municipal council decided to launch a photovoltaic project on this former quarry with the aim of generating a new source of income.
Urbasolar worked tirelessly on this project, putting all their efforts into it, always present and attentive. They are a reliable partner who handles projects seriously, and we have other projects underway with them. For photovoltaics, we need to scale up in the territories. With this operation, we are contributing to the development of photovoltaics and have additional resources for the municipality’s budget.

Former Polluted Site (31)
The Toulouse Oncopole solar plant, located on the former AZF site, is a perfect example of rehabilitating polluted land.
Annual production: 19.3 GWh, equivalent to the annual consumption of 8,700 people.
Capacity:
2.5MWc
Former Landfill (26)
The Allan solar plant makes use of the site’s strong solar potential while avoiding any conflict with agricultural or forestry activities.
Annual production: 4 GWh, equivalent to the annual consumption of 5,200 people.
Capacity:
12MWc
Former Airfield (07)
The solar plant located in Lanas rehabilitates this public asset, which was difficult to enhance due to aviation easements and the artificial nature of the area.
Annual production: 19 GWh, equivalent to the consumption of 8,800 people.
