Agrivoltopolis
Semi-automatic PV devices for the vegetable crops (tomatoes, melon, lettuce, and fava beans) that can integrate bird and insect protection, resistant to chemical products. The devices are optimised for the various cultures and made of different materials (wood and steel). For the monitoring of weather data will be designed and develop an automated robot.
