The AgroSOL project is making progress in defining agrovoltaic models adapted to the SUDOE territory through the preparation of the deliverable “Diagnosis of the State of the Art of Agrovoltaic Farms in the EU”.
This document, developed within the framework of WG1 and led by ESTIA with the collaboration of all consortium partners, analyses the current state of agrovoltaics in France, Spain, and Portugal, addressing technical, agronomic, economic, and regulatory aspects.
The study highlights how agrovoltaics can become a key tool for strengthening the resilience of agricultural farms in the face of challenges such as climate change, the ageing of the sector, pressure on water resources, and the increasing saturation of electricity grids.
The document examines different types of agrovoltaic systems (elevated structures, mobile systems, photovoltaic greenhouses, and vertical installations) and evaluates their integration with various crops and climatic conditions across the SUDOE area.
The report also underlines the potential of agricultural self-consumption as a priority model for small and medium-sized farms, helping to reduce energy costs and increase the autonomy of agricultural holdings.
Through this work, AgroSOL continues to move forward towards the development of a common strategy and a transferable action plan to promote sustainable agrovoltaic solutions adapted to the real needs of the territory and compatible with agricultural activity.
