In recent years, Italy has rapidly moved agrivoltaics from a niche experiment to a significant industrial asset, combining agriculture and solar energy production in ways that benefit farmers, the environment, and the broader economy.
Agrivoltaics refers to the practice of installing photovoltaic (PV) panels above or within agricultural land so that crops and solar generation coexist on the same surface. Italy’s unique mix of climatic advantages, strong agricultural traditions, and growing renewable energy ambitions has created fertile ground for this hybrid approach.
