Agrivoltaic
Cultivating energy and future
Integrated solutions combining photovoltaic and cultivation for a greenhouse that embraces sustainability and productivity.
What is agrivoltaic?
Agrivoltaic is the technology that integrates agricultural production with solar energy generation by installing photovoltaic panels above or alongside crops. This optimizes land use, produces clean energy, and protects crops from excessive sunlight or extreme weather events.
Which Crops are most Suitable for Agrivoltaic Systems?
Crops that tolerate partial shading, such as lettuce, spinach, strawberries, basil, and many aromatic plants, are ideal for agrivoltaic systems.
Can Photovoltaic Panels be Installed on Existing Greenhouses?
Yes, in many cases it is possible to integrate photovoltaic systems on existing greenhouses, subject to structural verification and customized design.
What is the Average Lifespan of an Agrivoltaic System?
Photovoltaic panels have an average lifespan of 25-30 years, with a gradual reduction in efficiency. The greenhouse structure, if well maintained, can last even longer.
How much Does it Cost to Build an Agrivoltaic Greenhouse?
The cost varies depending on the greenhouse size, type of panels used, and level of automation. We offer customized quotes based on a’ preliminary technical analysis.

Lucchini's agrivoltaic solutions
Fixed Line
This “static” system, with multiple configurations, meets the needs of farmers and growers while producing energy with low economic impact
"Tracker" tracking line
Our single-axis systems optimize energy production by following the sun throughout the day while always safeguarding cultivation requirements.
Photovoltaic greenhouse lines
Our solutions represent an evolution of the traditional photovoltaic greenhouse. These greenhouses not only generate energy but always ensure maximum crop yield.
Parking line
These structures provide shelter for cars and generate energy through photovoltaic modules, representing a smart and sustainable option for utilizing public and private spaces.
