In the rapidly changing world of sustainable agriculture, there is a concept that is gaining ground, and sunlight: 'Agrivoltaics'. But what exactly does it mean? Imagine an elegant dance between agriculture and solar energy, where both practices coexist harmoniously for the benefit of our planet and future generations. In other words, in agrivoltaics, solar energy becomes a valuable ally for agriculture, without compromising soil productivity.
Idromeccanica Lucchini has seized this opportunity and, in collaboration with EcoCasa, is pursuing a cutting-edge vision, transforming its know-how in the design and construction of photovoltaic greenhouses into the agrivoltaic sector. But what makes our systems unique? In a field where knowledge, efficiency and professionalism are essential, Idromeccanica Lucchini has studied and tested advanced agrivoltaic systems that respond to the specific needs of cultivation, allowing 'green' energy to be generated while cultivating with the highest possible efficiency. But how?
Our solutions
Idromeccanica Lucchini offers a variety of solutions, including the 'Fixed Line', which offers three options with different solar panel positions: horizontal, vertical and at different heights. This particular versatility allows farmers to adapt the system to the specific needs of their crops.
Our flagship product is the 'Tracker Line'. This single-axis system not only offers different heights, but also allows the integration of crop protection systems under the panels themselves. Imagine, for example, being able to grow kiwis in the shade (it really has to be said) of an array of solar panels: a unique opportunity that embraces sustainability and profitability.
The 'Photovoltaic Greenhouses' of the 'MultySolar' Line, on the other hand, represent the evolution of the traditional photovoltaic greenhouse, offering different span widths. These greenhouses not only protect crops by increasing their yield, but also generate energy efficiently.
And finally, we must mention the 'Parking Line', where structures provide shelter for cars while producing energy thanks to photovoltaic panels integrated in the roof. A perfect example of how we can exploit space - public and private - in an intelligent and sustainable way.
Clean energy and agricultural well-being
In a world moving increasingly towards sustainability, it is important not only to generate 'green' energy, but to do so as efficiently as possible. This is the only way to truly move towards circularity.
This is one of the reasons why Idromeccanica Lucchini is increasingly committed to constantly improving its remote monitoring to manage crop needs, while also ensuring optimal energy production.
We can safely say that agri-voltaics is not just a 'trendy' word, but a reality that brings with it a promise of prosperity - for the environment and for agriculture. With Idromeccanica Lucchini we cultivate clean energy and agricultural prosperity, demonstrating that knowledge, efficiency and professionalism make and will increasingly make the difference, in a complex and hyperconnected society, for a more sustainable and balanced future.
