In the first episode of the podcast ‘Conversations with Good Energy’, Pedro Salomé, from the Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, and César Martins, from Chemitek, explain how photovoltaic panels can be integrated into agricultural land to support sustainable energy and food production.
With the growth of solar energy, many farmers face the difficult decision between making their land profitable with solar panels or maintaining traditional crops. The concept of agrovoltaics (AgroPV) emerges as a solution that allows agriculture and energy production to be reconciled, promoting energy autonomy for farmers.
In this episode, the experts also discuss the challenges of the technology, the role of the organisations involved and the future prospects for the agricultural sector.
