Agrivoltaic

The first and only complete and patented AGRIVOLTAIC orchard system solution

Everyone talks about agrivoltaics, especially now that the institutions have given the green light to submit system applications, but no one is really able to propose and implement a complete solution like our Power Shield Tech developed with our partner I-Pergola.

Why?

Because in April 2024, following an in-depth study of the best solution we could provide to our customers and of the regulations in force in terms of ”agrivoltaics”, we filed a patent application with the ”Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy” that, once the evaluation process is complete, will give us the exclusive right to build structures with agrivoltaics on top, whether they are made with concrete posts or other materials.

But that’s not the whole story: the exclusivity is in fact granted upon submission of the application, which means that as of now, no one but us is authorised to set up agrovoltaic systems with covers or nets protecting the crops underneath.

Be careful, therefore, of those who propose projects that they are in fact not authorised to implement.

To safely grow orchards with normal agronomic practices, there is only one solution and it is called Power Shield Tech Valente.

Our system provides the possibility of covering the orchard by protecting it from adverse weather conditions and at the same time offering the structural extension where the strings of high-efficiency panels are installed to produce electricity. Consequently, the system is capable of producing from 400 to 700 kW of nominal power, thanks to the optimised installation of high-performance panels distributed along the length of the rows in such a way as not to produce excessive shading and to allow optimal cultivation of the fruit.

In addition, this solution can save up to 40% of water needs, through an innovative system of management and control of the irrigation system that will be installed in the covered orchard.

The system is proposed with mobile panels with solar orientation.

The solution is managed by a sophisticated software that ensures the optimization of the performance of the panels and the complete monitoring of the electrical part with the detection of malfunctions and subsequent reporting of anomalies to the plant operator.
