Solarplaza Summit | Agri-PV Europe

An engaging session designed to take attendees on a global journey, exploring the exciting field of Agri-PV (Agriculture-Photovoltaics) and shedding light on the latest research findings and best practices from successful projects Europe and World-wide

Agri-PV is as diverse as the farming sector. This diversity provides a great change to the industry, but it also comes with it's own challenges. Designed to translate the research of the previous session into a real world setting, this session bridges the gap between science and industry and approaches the diversities within agri-PV varieties at the detailed project level. It provides insights on the complexity of offering multiple Agri-PV solutions, the need of high internal and external Agri-PV quality standards, and approaches the detailed project level. Find out what main debates, policies and market movements concern leading agri-PV stakeholders.

Since 2012, photovoltaic plants built on agricultural lands could not benefit from RES incentives. This prohibition has been superseded by way of recent law provisions, many of which implementing PNRR and PNIEC goals, that have introduced a number of simplifications on the permitting. However, the access to incentives and to the simplified procedure for Agri-PV is subject to compliance with the criteria set out by the 2022 Guidelines on Agrivoltaic Installations, as well as with some further agricultural subjective requirements. Let's discuss a little deeper what it's about.

To set the scene, this presentation explores how research and information flow to and from the agricultural sector, and gets translated into practice as well as summarizes the perspectives of enterprises towards Agrivoltaic projects.

This is the first session of four, that will present a technical deep-dive by analyzing three types of Agrivoltaic models.
