Solar aviary
Indre-et-Loire (37)
The project
This new project, which houses the farm’s ducks and broilers, represents a major step forward for these farmers: – The photovoltaic panels provide welcome shade, particularly appreciated by the animals on hot days. They also make better use of outdoor space, reducing the amount of time the birds spend in the barn; – All operations are carried out under cover, with the feed troughs protected by the panels.
Characteristics & impact
Covering 3.5 hectares, this photovoltaic aviary generates the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of approximately 1,055 households and avoids nearly 25 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Commissioned in 2025, it illustrates the dual benefit of the solar aviary: protecting the flock while contributing to the decarbonization of the local area.
