Progress Update on Insolight’s Agrivoltaic Installation in Canton Vaud

Construction is progressing at Insolight’s new 2‑hectare agrivoltaic installation in Canton Vaud. Our team was on site last week to move forward with key steps of the project, advancing steadily despite challenging winter weather.

This installation marks an important step in expanding agrivoltaic solutions in Switzerland, supporting both local energy production and agricultural use.
