Reasearch and Innovation at disposal of the fotovoltaic and agrivoltaics sectors – Experiences and ambitions in Europe

Organized by: ETA Florence Energie Rinnovabili, with the support of Rete Nazionale Agrivoltaico Sostenibile, EURAC, Rete NFV

In the coming years, new solutions and innovations will materialize for the photovoltaic and agri-voltaic sector. Agrivoltaic systems - i.e. photovoltaic systems whose characteristics are designed to allow agricultural activity whilst producing electricity - offer a unique opportunity to respond to the green energy transition.
Among the other communication and dissemination activities ETA Florence Renewable Energies supported the born and concretely worked for the constitution of the ENEA’s National Network for Sustainable Agrivoltaics. This is a response to the need to network and share knowledge about this topic, such as who and how we can develop agri-voltaics, and studies and research in the field of agrivoltaics. This event will present research experiences on both a European and global scale, carried out by research institutions and in industry, and will conclude with a round table discussion including representatives from academia, industry and the public.
