OPENAX continues to focus its efforts on the transition to green energy. Agri-PV at Openax can realise the dual use of arable land and offers an innovative, efficient and cost-effective solution to simultaneously promote sustainable agriculture and the transition to clean energy.
Agrivoltaism makes it possible to drive the agricultural and energy transition of territories by combining food production and sustainable energy production on the same surface. It is a proven strategy for farmers to adapt to climatic hazards and an innovative solution to protect their crops while producing renewable electricity.
Agrivoltaism or Agri-PV is a method which allows the coupling of main agricultural production with secondary energy production. This is a unique way of creating beneficial synergies between agricultural activity and solar energy, on the same surface.

It is a proven strategy for farmers to adapt to climatic hazards and an innovative solution to protect their crops while producing renewable electricity.
Climate change is a reality for all our countries. Climatic hazards are increasingly recurrent (spring frost, hail, extreme temperatures), resources are becoming rare (water) and expensive (energy).
Younger generations no longer dare to engage in this profession with such unpredictable income and difficult working conditions. Yet more than a third of farms are looking for a buyer by 2030. Renewal is not happening, endangering our food sovereignty.
Openax, from an agricultural cooperative, is keen to offer solutions to the agricultural world to face these new challenges. Agrivoltaism is one of them.
Openax solutions offer the possibility to combine PV and energy storage, to support power grids and improve new energy consumption for more penetration. We are committed to improving power generation capacity, maximizing equipment lifetimes, enhancing operational efficiencies, and optimizing the economic benefits of the project.. Openax professional service covers project consultation, site survey, solution design, project application, project investment, etc. PV and ESS
OPENAX is present throughout the life of a project: development, construction, operation and maintenance, repowering, dismantling. For each stage of carrying out and promoting a project, OPENAX thus has the internal capabilities to design, analyze, build and operate solar parks.
For a project in development, a committed and experienced team is therefore dedicated to it, made up of project managers and a network of internal experts (agronomist, environment, legal, consultation, engineering, connection and construction) in order to create a turnkey park.

By its proximity to the agricultural world, OPENAX was one of the pioneers in developing agrivoltaic projects. Since then, it has inc reased the number of pilot projects in Western Europe in order to test our technologies on different types of crops. These pilots allow us to obtain feedback with the aim of optimizing our technologies and maximizing synergy with agricultural production.
OPENAX offers three main types of agrivoltaic solutions depending on the production concerned: Overhead PV, Interspace PV and Pasture PV.
Raised semi-transparent panels to meet the light needs of corps
Raising structures to ensure the passage of agricultural machinery
Adaptation of the inter-row spacing according to agricultural needs (size of machinery planting, density, etc.)
This agrivoltaic installation aims to:
Other advantages are also visible:
With a dependable source of renewable energy solar power, and no markups from energy companies, maximize production with Openax solar modules achieving greater yields.
Converts direct current into alternating current. High-yield inverters maximise profits, our Max Inverters offer unparalleled performance, stability and power density. Set new standards for energy yields, while lowering O&M costs.
Integration of batteries, ESS, along with Openax energy-saving solutions, providing a steady source of renewable energy solar power.
Embrace the sustainability of energy-saving solutions for businesses with comprehensive insights into your ecosystem’s performance and practical management tools, which are conveniently accessible through the Openax monitoring app or online platform.
This technology recalls the principles of agroforestry with inter-row cultivation allowing a reduction in soil erosion, evapotranspiration and therefore a reduction in water consumption. Biodiversity zones (hedges, flowers, etc.) can be installed under the panels.
This agrivoltaic installation has the advantages of:
For grazing, OPENAX offers fixed structures or trackers positioned horizontally in the presence of animals.
The project is designed for breeding activity with the installation of water troughs, channels to protect electrical wires, containment areas, suitable fences and grassy meadows according to the needs of the breeder. The latter has access to the site 24/7.
OPENAX is diversifying into cattle projects with four projects under development in France. The structures are raised and reinforced to adapt to the size and power of these animals.
This agrivoltaic installation has the advantages of:
German producer of orange under shade since 2017 (Openax Overhead PV Solution)
French producer of raspberries under shade since 2020 - (Openax Overhead PV Solution)
arborist in Lanionin France, Since 2023 - (Openax Overhead PV Solution)
sheep breeder in France - (Openax Pasturage PV Solution)
We innovate advanced solar panels and revolutionary energy solutions, paving the way for an environmentally conscious future while maximising your return on investment.
OPENAX, a leading French solar module brand, stands for precision and reliability in engineering. We're at the forefront, using advanced technology to shape the future of solar energy.
Smart Module Optimizers enhance the parallel application performance of DC power sources such as photovoltaic modules and energy storage batteries.
With two sets of inputs and one set of outputs, the Smart Module Optimizer allows for the parallel usage of photovoltaic modules/batteries, resulting in increased output current and greater power output from the photovoltaic module/battery array.
Openax Home Residential Inverters and Smart Energy Managers Maximize Solar Energy Production,Storage and Consumption, 24/7 and turn solar energy into electricity that a house can use. Our DC-optimized inverters, enabled with Smart Module Optimizers, maximize power generation by individually managing each solar panel, improving system efficiency and reducing power loss due to shading or mismatch.
Smart Control Unit is a communication HUB that allows one-click commissioning and transmits inverter data stably and reliably
OPENAX ESS energy storage systems, can efficiently store excess solar energy, provide stable energy support when demand peaks or cannot generate electricity without wasting any power your PV generated.
Transformer Station aggregates the power of a subarray and increases the voltage by changing the magnetic field for better grid connection
