AGRO PV

At Five-E we promote the implementation of agrivoltaic energy that seeks to maximize soil productivity, installing solar plants in those areas dedicated to agriculture and livestock, positioning itself as a benchmark to make a sector that does not want to be left behind and that is so important.

Our focus.

We are focused on giving land a double use so that agricultural production and electrical energy, through photovoltaic installations, can coexist in the same environment under two fundamental premises:

Limited available land.
Need to increase energy of renewable origin.

Applications.

Agrivoltaic energy has different applications depending on the environment and the use that want to be made from the facilities.

Solar projects can coexist occupying the same land as fruit, vegetable, and cereal cultivation areas. The land under solar projects can be used as grazing land for cattle.

The solar panels coexist with the crops on the same surface. The shade that they themselves produce can benefit the development of agricultural exploitations by making an exhaustive calculation of the percentage of shade necessary to obtain the greatest benefits.

These panels are built about 5 meters above the ground (depending on the plantation that coexists below) which allows work with heavy machinery, harvesting and other necessary treatments for the plants. Advances in photovoltaics also allow the use of these panels on greenhouses.

It is our purpose, by having electricity in the field:

Apply part of the energy produced to improve the crop itself.

Adapt each project or installation to the reality of each place and plantation.

This leads to precision agriculture through:

Smart sensors that help in the early detection of pests.
Advanced automatic irrigation, fertilization and fumigation systems according to the crop, soil and weather conditions.
Monitoring of pathogens and environmental conditions for decision making.
Integrated historical analysis to optimize the production process.
360° traceability.

ADVANTAGES OF AGRIVOLTAIC ENERGY

At Five-E we are developing projects in Italy and Spain that support the development of this technology involved with society and its problems, that is why our purpose is to put provide solutions that help to pay for global warming, carbon emissions, CO2 and the adverse phenomena that we are suffering in different industries for these reasons.

01

Direct effects on the business model:

Savings for self-consumed energy.
Income from the sale of electricity and from agriculture or livestock.
Extra income from the sale of CO₂ credits in the voluntary carbon offset market.
Improvement of the quality of the food produced and its quantity. Ground temperature reduction.
02

Advantages in agricultural production:

Reduction of plant stress.
Reduces losses due to inclement weather by creating microclimates around the plant.
Reduce the consumption of phytosanitary products. Elimination of pesticide use. Reduces water consumption by 50%
Increases crop yield.
Differentiating brand image.
Optimization of irrigation during droughts and rainy season.
Reduced soil erosion.
03

Direct effects on society:

Social acceptance of the energy transition towards renewables is improved.
Technification of generated jobs.
Greater number of jobs per acres.
Delocalization of energy.
Attraction and retention of human talent.
