The trend in the collaborative economy is constantly part of an agricultural crisis. To allow operators to purchase an additional income without an additional investment or workload, several systems have emerged. Among these: the rental of the agricultural Hangar as a storage space for people. A similar solution promises to be also timely: rent the roof of an agricultural hangar to a photovoltaic investor. Unused earth surface, the building’s roof can lead to the big to the agricultor. And beyond the aspect of profitability, participating in the production of an energy of renewable origin is a real advantage for the planet.
New additional income for farmers
The agricultural sector is in crisis, operators show their financial difficulties. In response: the ingenious systems are implemented to allow farmers to continue living in their work.
Observation of the solar earth
At the time of eating well and local consumption, the farmer does not stand out as the essential professional? Preserving this ancestral and precious profession is our duty for everyone and the general interest.
Rent your agricultural hangar to individuals
In 2013 a website was created to connect land owners with people looking for storage space: Jestocke.com. Of course, the question is stronger in the Paris region: the square meters are expensive and people cannot always buy an additional room to keep their things. As a result, they temporarily praise a cellar or any other surface such as furniture. Nothing concerning farmers so far. Except that over time, the collaborative platform is developing and a new niche appears. The storage spaces are seriously lacking in rural areas, this is an opportunity for the farmer to exploit his unexplored earth surface if necessary.
Note
Starting in 2016, 30 % of requests on Jestocke.com aimed at the agricultural regions. A farmer from Landes, the same year, said he had earned almost € 250 per month thanks to the rental of the farm farm.
It is simple: the operator puts everything or part – depending on the surface he does not use – of his warehouse for rent on the site. The individual who is looking for a storage space in his region is redirected to the offer and ends the rental contract of his building. Without intermediaries: the detail has an ideal furniture solution at advantageous prices. The farmer receives a rental income on a surface that has not exploited. Winner-Win!
Rent the roof of the agricultural Hangar for solar panels
Another source of income without costs or efforts for you: rent the roof of your agricultural hangar. Who would be interested in renting your roof? A photovoltaic investor! Explanations:
- To date, the French electricity grid is mainly fueled by nuclear electricity, produced and provided by professionals – Edf in mind. This electricity is expensive and generates radioactive waste which is difficult to preserve.
- Alternative: energy of renewable origin, including photovoltaic electricity produced thanks to sunlight. The solar panels allow you to produce green electricity for free, to consume yourself or to inject the network after selling it to an EDF ASSOCIATION: EDF OA (as a purchase obligation).
- The photovoltaic investor is a professional who rents your agricultural hangar roof to install and use solar panels. His installation will allow him to produce electricity that he will sell to the EDF oa. In exchange for the space occupied on the roof, he pays you a rent.
The real estate transaction in these conditions is a real opportunity: earnings money without changing anything in operating mode. Edit only: the vision of the solar panels on the roof of your building that will make your commitment visible in the energy transition.
