Ora-Auer, Bozen
Apple orchard for the future
Multifunctional trackers for an apple orchard that can integrate irrigation, antifreeze, hail, and insect protection. The demo uses a “Guyot” system with a N-S orientation.
Italy
Scalea, Cosenza
Citrus from Scalea
Innovative citrus orchard solution that can integrate irrigation and hail protection systems together with agronometer and insect detection systems. Ensuring at the same time the use of energy directly in situ thanks to the production and storage of photovoltaic electricity with a stand-alone configuration.
Spain
Viladecans, Barcelona
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.
The Netherlands
Schipluiden, Midden-Delfland
Greenhouse Agri-PV for tomatoes
Retrofit of existing greenhouse fully equipped with sensors to correlate tomatoes yield with incident light depending on presence of uncoated and coated PV modules.
The solution will design a specific PV panels and agri-PV modules, optimazing the use of materials and integration in landscape.

Germany
Aasen, Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis
Agri-Solarpark Donaueschingen-Aasen
Arable farming is cultivated among vertical steel photovoltaic structures developed by Next2Sun. A monitoring system collects data on the microclimate and crop yields. The local community played a key role in the development and permitting stages of the project, which was also financed through crowdfunding.

San Javier, Murcia
Assessment of the potential of Agrivoltaic Systems
An experimental farm with vegetable crops covered by bifacial semi-transparent panels has been developed by IMIDA – Instituto Murciano de Investigación y Desarrollo Agrario y Medioambiental. The system incorporates water-efficient management practices and includes a monitoring system for soil and air conditions.

Ora-Auer, Bozen
Apple orchard
Intensive agriculture landscape with apple orchards in Guyot form, covered by trackers installed on a suspended structure with cables – flat alluvial plain in the bottom of the Adige valley. The system was developed by LAIMBURG.
Italy
Scalea, Cosenza
Lemon orchard
Intensive agriculture landscape with lemon orchard in tradiational form covered with Convert trackers installed by EF Solare Italia and Le Greenhouse – coastal flat alluvial plain at the mouth of river Lao.
The Netherlands
Lierop, North Brabant
Raspberry and strawberry crops
A mix of various configurations of different PV modules and structures were installed over raspberry and strawberry crops, by ENGIE. The system also considers recirculation of drain water and rainwater collection.
Belgium
Bierbeek, Flemish Brabant
Pear orchard
Extensive agriculture landscape with pear orchards in Guyot form covered by semi-transparent modules installed by KUL on the existing hail nets structures. The system is located in a hilly landscape with open arable fields and forest patches east of Brussels.
Portugal
Lisbon
Solar urban garden
The project has been operational since the beginning of 2023, combining solar generation and horticulture syntropic urban farming. The agrovoltaic system is installed in the outdoor solar energy laboratory on the campus of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.

GLASS - Greenhouse Living-lab Agrivoltaic Systems in Spain
GLASS Project aims to demonstrate the potential of agrivoltaics, increasing greenhouse crop production, reducing agricultural inputs and producing clean energy, under hot and dry climatic conditions. The project is being developed by AdPVTech, from the University of Jaén, which is leading the project, and IMIDA and JHuete as project collaborators.
