The development of energy sovereignty and the adaptation of agriculture to climate change to guarantee food independence are major strategic challenges. Agrivoltaics, which combines agricultural and energy production, can respond to these challenges, but it also presents risks in terms of speculation on agricultural land, negative impacts on biodiversity, and modifications to farmers’ working practices. AgroSOL aims to develop a sustainable model for the development of agrivoltaics in rural areas, focusing on small and medium-sized farms in order to strengthen farmers’ livelihoods. To this end, a common strategy will be developed to facilitate the implementation of photovoltaic production models that contribute to the resilience of the SUDOE’s rural areas. The project includes several pilot projects to work on understanding the impact of solar panels, their design, and the most suitable technological solutions: Pilot 1: ES (Navarre) – led by CONSORCIO EDER with technical support from UPNA and UBU, will carry out the project on woody crops (vineyard, olive tree) as well as horticultural crops and asparagus under plastic. Pilot 2: PT (Alentejo) – carried out by the UNIVERSITY OF ÉVORA in collaboration with ADENE, potentially focusing on crop rotation and horticultural production in greenhouses. Pilot 3: FR (Nouvelle Aquitaine) – will be implemented by ESTIA and GLHD in several trials adapted to family farming, with various types of horticultural crops, cereals, and legumes. Pilot 4: ES (Castile and León) – led by ITAGRA, will focus on agrivoltaics with mushroom production combined with the production of aromatic and medicinal plants, with the technical support of UPNA and UBU and the support of EREN for the dissemination of results. Pilot 5: ES (Extremadura) – directed by CICYTEX, focused on the impact of solar panels on winter cereal crops. Each country has its own areas of specialization that will allow the application of the technologies.
