About
Les Agriculteurs Solaires is a private headquartered in Bordeaux, France specializing in Solar.
Les Agriculteurs Solaires is a farmer-led organization specializing in agrivoltaic solar development across France. Their model positions farmers as stakeholders in renewable energy projects, guaranteeing rental income, shareholding in project companies, and revenue diversification. Projects integrate solar panels with continued agricultural operations, including crop production and livestock grazing beneath elevated panels. The organization emphasizes local electricity production for farmers, rural communities, and businesses through collective self-consumption. Key features include co-construction with local elected officials, integration of hedgerows and vegetation under panels for soil health and biodiversity, and a commitment to using no more than 1.5% of municipal agricultural land and 10% of individual farm land. The model aligns with national renewable energy acceleration laws and agroecological principles.
