Abstract

The continuous growth of the world population is causing an increase in the demands for food and energy of the population. Given these circumstances and the negative consequences derived from climate change, it is necessary to evolve towards a more efficient and sustainable agricultural system. In this sense, the agrivoltaic proposes to combine agricultural production and photovoltaic energy production in the same piece of land. Several studies have analysed the behaviour of the agrivoltaic facilities from a theoretical point of view. However, it is necessary to test the viability of this new system in experimental plants. In this work an experimental agrivoltaic plant developed in Córdoba (Spain) is described. The preliminary results of this study show that agrivoltaics can and should play a fundamental role in the energy model of the countries since it promotes the development of renewable energies while improving the economic performance of agricultural land.
