Descripción del proyecto
Tecnologías agrofotovoltaicas para lograr una agricultura más saludable
La agrofotovoltaica es un concepto fotovoltaico para espacios abiertos que permite la coexistencia física de la energía fotovoltaica y la agricultura. Esto significa que los agricultores pueden beneficiarse de la producción de alimentos y electricidad. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto PV4Plants, financiado con fondos europeos, promoverá la sinergia entre energía y agricultura de las tecnologías agrofotovoltaicas mediante el desarrollo de un sistema adaptable a diferentes condiciones climáticas y variedades de cultivos para, de este modo, mejorar las condiciones de cultivo y la eficiencia del uso del suelo, el rendimiento de los cultivos y la generación de energía renovable. El equipo del proyecto optimizará la transmisión de luz de los paneles fotovoltaicos a través de nanopartículas innovadoras pulverizadas sobre la superficie del vidrio fotovoltaico. Además, probará este sistema en tres lugares de demostración altamente reproducibles en Dinamarca, España y Turquía. Por último, en PV4Plants se tendrá en cuenta la reciclabilidad de componentes y materiales.
Objetivo
PV4Plants boosts the energy-agricultural synergy of agriPV technologies to enhance growth conditions and increase land-use efficiency, crop yield and renewable energy generation. This is achieved by optimising the light transmission of PV panels through cutting edge nanoparticles spraying on the PV glass surface. PV4Plants system is specifically designed to meet healthy harvesting and to be adaptable to different climatic conditions and crop varieties that will be demonstrated in 3 highly replicable demo sites in Turkey, Spain and Denmark. PV4Plants optimises the system parameters (panels tilt, irrigation level, amount of fertilisers, etc) based on a multi-indicator real-time monitoring system that allows a continuous improvement of the microclimate underneath the agriPV panels to increase crop health and yield. Recyclability and reutilization of components and materials both for the manufacturing and End of Life of the PV4Plants system are central aspects of the project. The PV4Plants system will be certificated through the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), compliance with ISO 14021 and the Sustainability Excellence Label by UNEF. Finally, PV4Plants will boost its market penetration and uptake through innovative farmers' engagement strategies to enhance their acceptance and trust in innovative agriPV systems; new financing schemes and business models to improve investment performance and through a set of policy recommendations that will be developed together with public authorities to create new mechanism designed to accelerate the uptake of agriPV systems in Europe.
