The construction of photovoltaic plants on land traditionally put to agricultural use has been generating discussion and controversy for years. In a world that is increasingly demanding clean energy, but also food, the possibility has arisen of combining both activities so that, instead of competing, they might complement each other. This is “agrivoltaic” technology, which explores the possibilities of integrating solar collectors into agricultural plantations, thus generating energy without sacrificing crop production.
