Agri-photovoltaic, where green energy meets agriculture, represents an opportunity for integration between photovoltaic technology and agricultural production. Two systems that have often been distant from each other are today designed and developed together.
The combination of agriculture and photovoltaic systems brings benefits for the territory and the environment, aiming at the production of renewable energy while also allowing improvements to agricultural crops, local climate regulation and water conservation. The installation technologies favour solar-tracking mounting structures at a height that allows the passage of farming vehicles, without compromising the natural development of the plants.
Romeo Group Fotovoltaica designs and installs agri-photovoltaic systems for farming businesses, guaranteeing compliance with technical and regulatory requirements and maximum integration between energy production and agricultural activity.
Agri-photovoltaic systems offer multiple benefits for farming businesses, combining the production of renewable energy with improved growing conditions and a positive impact on the territory.
Producing food and energy on the same land is no longer a utopia: it’s called agri-photovoltaic, and science confirms its concrete advantages. Research carried out by Prof. Greg Barron-Gafford at the Biosphere 2 of the University of Arizona — also published in Nature in 2025 — shows that crops grown under photovoltaic panels benefit from a cooler and more stable microclimate, with a soil moisture significantly higher than in traditional fields.
The result? Irrigation needs reduced by up to 30% and, in many cases, higher yields: some vegetable varieties have doubled or even tripled production thanks to protection from direct irradiation and extreme weather events. Less water, more harvest, clean energy: agri-photovoltaic is the smart answer to the challenges of the Mediterranean.
