: During the extreme drought of 2022, the canopy provided a "protective microclimate," reducing soil temperature by up to 2°C and decreasing water stress days by 57% for the soybean crop.

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

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) : During the extreme drought of 2022, the

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

: The 3-hectare site produces 2.4 MWp , equivalent to the electricity consumption of approximately 1,350 households. Scientific Partnerships : The 3-hectare site produces 2

: 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.
