Agrivoltaism to conquer the peasant world

Antoine Rigalleau's Peugeot 307 displays 316,000 kilometers on the clock.For almost six years, this former professor of history-geography has been relentlessly has been traveling the borders of Indre, Cher and Nièvre, to the doors of theMorvan.On board, Thibault (the people mentioned whose name does not appear to keep anonymity), a student engineer and intern.In their bags, bundles of cards and satellite photos: an anthology of rural areas far from the Natura 2000 areas and other natural areas of ecological, floristic and fauna interest.Apart from the territories of the appellations of controlled origin, prestigious vineyards, picturesque countryside where neorurals like to settle.

M.Rigalleau is a land prospector in agrivoltaism, after working for five years in wind, which arouses many constraints and oppositions.At the rate of three to four days every three weeks on behalf of a Ile -de -France promoter, he sets out to conquer agricultural land likely to accommodate supreme panels suspended.To respect the commercial secret, his employer accepted our presence provided that we remain evasive on the premises prospected and that we do not reveal the identities of the people met.

To achieve the objectives of deploying photovoltaic of the multi -year energy programming (PPE), the sector must find land to produce 44 gigawatts (GW) - 12 GW for the moment already installed -, or 44,000 hectares of panelsby 2028.The only Nièvre targets 2,000 hectares of panels.Because the government wants to limit the artificialization of soils and the former brownfields are a rare commodity - theMinistry of Ecological Transition announced, Wednesday, November 3, its desire to equip wasteland for the production of 8 GW of wasteland-, agrivoltaism is an increasingly explored path.

This sum concerns the breeding meadows, which it covets as a priority, where large adjustable panels can be installed at the top of posts three to four meters in height, on 50 % of the surface, and without embarrassment on the ground on the ground.For large culture fields, only 20 % of the surface is envisaged in panels, or 400 euros per hectare and per year.According to current legislation, panel installations make the eligibility for aid of the common agricultural policy (CAP) lose the eligibility, which makes the argument more complex for sale.M.Rigalleau must still complete projects of several tens of hectares: "Like that, even by moving away from 15 km from the network on which to connect, this remains viable.»»
