Agrivoltaic Projects

Grow While Generating Energy: Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaics combines agricultural production and solar energy generation in the same space. Rather than having to choose between farming and producing energy, fields can do both simultaneously.

This approach uses strategically placed solar panels — typically on elevated structures with solar tracking — that let enough sunlight through for crops to thrive while generating clean electricity. The result is a mutually beneficial system: crops gain protection and benefit from the microclimate created by the panels, and the land increases its productivity by producing renewable energy.

Agrivoltaics paves the way for a new model of rural development, where farmland not only feeds communities but also contributes to the energy transition, enhancing the resilience of the region in the face of climate and economic challenges.

Why With Us?

At Solager, we believe that agrivoltaics only makes sense if it is adapted to the land and the people who live there. That’s why we promote local projects, up to 10 hectares in size, that can be integrated into the landscape and coexist with existing agricultural activity. Our way of working is based on:

Appropriate Scale
Small, distributed projects that avoid the concentration of large power plants and ensure better social and environmental acceptance.
Comprehensive Management
We take care of the entire process: site identification, urban and environmental feasibility studies, technical design, administrative procedures, construction, and maintenance.
Multidisciplinary Approach
We work with professionals in renewable energy, agriculture, and the environment, and collaborate with engineering firms and local stakeholders to adapt each project to the real needs of the territory.
Respect and Sustainability
We design installations that protect biodiversity, preserve the landscape, and create opportunities for farmers and rural communities.

With us, agrivoltaics is not just a solar installation — it is a tool to diversify the rural economy, generate clean energy, and strengthen the resilience of the territory.

Benefits of Agrivoltaics

Protects Crops

The panels act as a barrier against extreme events such as wind, hail, or excessive solar radiation, and reduce damage caused by birds or wildlife.

Creates a Healthier Microclimate

Partial shade from the panels helps moderate temperature, reduces water stress, and improves crop growth conditions.

Preserves Soil Moisture

Less direct sunlight means slower evaporation, reducing the need for irrigation in hot or dry regions.

Maximizes Land Use

The same area can produce both crops and clean energy without sacrificing farmland.

Increases Farmers’ Income

Energy production complements traditional farming, diversifying revenue streams and strengthening rural economies.

Millora la biodiversitat

These installations foster pollinators and other beneficial species, helping maintain ecological balance.

Planning and Strategy

Our strategic planning and design process ensures optimal coexistence between agriculture and energy production, securing the success and long-term viability of every agrivoltaic project.

Solar-Tracking Structures:
We use solar-tracking structures along a North-South axis to maximize energy production and control shading over crops..
Guaranteed Agricultural Viability:
We maintain a minimum distance of 10 meters between structures to allow normal farming activities and the passage of all machinery.
Grid Connection:
We work proactively to ensure smooth energy evacuation to substations, a critical step for obtaining construction permits.
