Crop agrivoltaic structure Agrovoltaico® 3D/2D

Overview
Patented, cutting-edge solutions that innovatively integrate renewable energy production and agriculture. Agrovoltaico® transforms photovoltaics into infrastructure designed and adapted to crops, soil and environmental conditions to produce renewable energy without reducing agricultural surface, contributing to continuity, resilience and sustainability of farming.

Energy and agriculture together
Agrovoltaico® integrates solar energy production with agricultural activity, producing renewable energy while protecting and enhancing crop production through tailored structures and microclimate management.

AgriPV Process

• Preliminary analysis: assessment of agricultural and energy requirements, definition of layout, estimation of CAPEX and OPEX.
• Project development: support in obtaining permits, agronomic strategy, integration of landscape and biodiversity aspects.
• Construction: selection of technical partners, supply of agri-PV structures and control technologies (PLC and software), erection supervision and plant start-up.
• Operation & maintenance: continuous performance monitoring, tracking software updates, preventive and corrective maintenance, spare parts management.

Fixed Agrovoltaico® — Stable structures, consistent performance
Robust, non-mobile solutions designed to blend with the agricultural environment to ensure stable energy production and crop protection. Systems include semi-transparent modules to create optimal microclimates and support functions such as rainwater collection.

Fixed solutions and variants

• Tunnel: semi-transparent modules, optimised microclimate, rainwater collection; benefits include sustainability, operational simplicity, balanced light.
• Linear or checkerboard rope structure: modular design for large surfaces and slopes up to 15%, layout flexibility, resilience and simplified management.

Agrovoltaico® 3D/2D and 2D greenhouses — Dynamic Agrovoltaico®
Dynamic systems integrate advanced solar tracking technologies (2D and 3D) to optimise energy production and microclimate management; engineered for adaptability across crops and environments to maximise energy and agricultural yields.

Main dynamic systems

• 2P-2D single-axis tracker: versatile single-axis system, ideal for cereal crops and flat or slightly sloping land; optimises light exposure and energy production; preferably North–South orientation; simplified shadow management.
• 3D bi-axial tracker: fourth-generation bi-axial tracker designed to ensure maximum flexibility and energy production, adaptable to any orientation and crop, full layout flexibility and optimised shadow management.
• Greenhouse with single-axis tracker: patented system for agrivoltaic integration in greenhouses, optimises light exposure for crops while maximising energy production efficiency.

Research & Development
In-depth analysis of agronomic big data collected from AgriPV sites enables decoding of crop behaviour across pedoclimatic conditions. Predictive models and machine learning refine shading strategies, water resource management and production models with scientific precision. Artificial intelligence analyses pedo-climatic and operational data to optimise management processes and strategies, improving performance and sustainability.
