Applications will have to be presented through the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici from 27 September until 27 October 2022.

There has been growing activity in the agrivoltaic space in recent months, with Germany set to accelerate solar deployment on agricultural land, solar manufacturer Heliene and US nanomaterials specialist UbiQD collaborating on agriPV modules and Statkraft partnering with the University of Bari to explore the potential of agrivoltaics, to name but a few.

Moreover, German developer Belectric told PV Tech Premium it saw “big potential in agriPV” as a means of helping European countries meet their renewables deployment targets.
