📢 Article published in Applied Energy!

The research that has led to this paper “Potential of agrivoltaics systems into olive groves in the Mediterranean region“, shows how to integrate solar energy in super-intensive Mediterranean olive groves, boosting sustainability. By optimizing the shading of solar panels, we could increase the power generation capacity by 3.5%. Furthermore, by installing agrivoltaic systems in just 1% of the region’s olive groves, we could increase global solar capacity by 2.5%, generate 1.8% of current electricity demand and create 560,000 jobs. A breakthrough towards a cleaner, more prosperous future! 🌍💡 Agriculture and energy production can coexist in harmony!🌱☀
