The article discusses the history of photovoltaic (PV) greenhouses in France. Topics explored include the invention of the first French PV greenhouse by architect Françoise Jourda in 2007, the basic greenhouse cultivation principles that these PV greenhouses reportedly failed to demonstrate, and the impact of the significant decline in the cost of first-generation PV panels on this greenhouse practice.
