Agrivoltaics combines traditional agriculture with modern photovoltaics. It is a method that enables the efficient use of land for electricity production from solar panels while simultaneously cultivating crops. The concept of agrivoltaics offers a solution to two major contemporary challenges: the need for sustainable energy and the efficient use of land.
There are two basic approaches to agrivoltaics:
Plants can be grown between these panels. This agrivoltaic structure maximizes the use of available space.
Panels are placed up to 8 meters above the ground, allowing the cultivation of taller plants, such as trees or grapevines, directly beneath them.

Agrivoltaics represents the future of integrating agriculture with sustainable energy. It helps maximize land yields, thus contributing to environmentally friendly resource use. Abadia recognizes this new trend and provides its partners with comprehensive solutions for the design, production, and installation of agrivoltaic structures.
