    Also, RealNano the RealNano partners will participate to the AGRIVOLTAICS 2022 Conference in parallel to ICEFPE22.

    Agrivoltaics is a sustainable economic model of farming that has strong growth prospects with respect for the environment and is supposed to increase land use efficiency. Indeed, Agri-PV will show a noteworthy growing more than 20GW in 2022 with an increase ratio close to 40%. In the coming years we expect such Greenhouse and open cultivations to be transformed into sustainable food production units and power plants for self-consumption, and then sale of electricity and grid connected, creating wealth and prosperity in local communities. Thus, not only will it solve the huge energy problems, creating many high-paying jobs and many new young farmers-entrepreneurs, but also it will reduce irrigation needs, water consumption, energy needs and gas emissions, while increasing crop yield.

    The AGRIVOLTAICS 2022 topics include:

    • Energy Generation and Crop Production in Agriculture practice
    • Optimized dual use of land
    • Energy Autonomy in Agriculture and Food Production
    • Sustainable Solutions to Provide Ecosystem Services
    • PV and OPV Panel Technologies for Agrivoltaics
    • LEDs and OLEDs for lighting
    • Flexible and Printed Electronics Applications (Lighting and Sensing) in Agriculture
    • Energy and Crop monitoring and control in hydroponic Greenhouses
    • AI Adapted in Agrivoltaics
    • Agrivoltaics Environmental Modelling
    • Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources (H-RES) for Greenhouses
    • Sustainable Agricultural Activity
    • Minimizing Landscape and Environment impact
    • Off-grid Installations in Remote Locations
    • Societal and Environmental impact
    • Economics of Agrivoltaics and business models
    • Cooling and Shading Effect, Exclusion of harmful UV Radiation in Cultivation
    • Overcoming Barriers to give prominence to Agrivoltaics
    • Agrivoltaics, a sustainable solution for supporting Ecosystem Services
    • Maximize Cultivation & Energy Production with OPVs on the Roof of the Greenhouse
    • Protection of the Environment – Circular Economy
    • Adjustable Transparency of OPVs, Shading on Plants, Water & Energy Reduction up to 30%
