The phrase refers to the , a pioneering project launched in 2022 in the Haute-Saône region of France by the solar energy company TSE .

Amance : inauguration of the first TSE agrivoltaic demonstrator : The 3-hectare site produces 2

Research on this site is conducted over a nine-year period in collaboration with several major institutions:

: Officially called an "agricultural canopy," this structure features 5,500 rotating solar panels suspended on cables 5 meters above the ground. (National Research Institute for Agriculture

: The 27-meter spacing between posts specifically allows a combine harvester to operate freely beneath the panels, a key requirement for large-scale field crops like soybeans and wheat.

: The 3-hectare site produces 2.4 MWp , equivalent to the electricity consumption of approximately 1,350 households. Scientific Partnerships " this structure features 5

While not a traditional academic "paper," detailed results and technical descriptions of the project have been published through TSE's technical reports and press kits. Project Highlights (2022)
