Enel Inexperienced Energy has began building of a 170 MW agrivoltaics plant in Viterbo, Italy. The Rome-based firm claims will probably be the biggest agrivoltaics set up in Italy when accomplished. The plant options bifacial PV modules mounted on trackers, from undisclosed producers.

Enel makes use of a “solar-first” method to photo voltaic and agriculture, with electrical energy era remaining the primary goal. Its methodology is designed to retrofit massive photo voltaic crops to permit crops to develop between the trackers and panels. Agriculture is built-in with present photo voltaic farms, quite than the opposite method round, as is commonly the case with agrivoltaics initiatives.

“The photo voltaic plant we’re constructing in Tarquinia reveals that the elevated use of renewable power may be harmoniously mixed with agricultural actions,” stated Salvatore Bernabei, CEO of Enel Inexperienced Energy. “In truth, this plant will seamlessly combine with the native space and host crops, leading to a constructive affect on the setting, economic system, and native space, in addition to serving to to scale back dependence of power in Italy.”

Round 330 staff from native firms will take part within the building of the Tarquinia plant. It’s scheduled to be accomplished inside 13 months.
