Italy continues to establish itself as one of Europe’s leading markets for agrivoltaics, combining agricultural activity and renewable energy generation to maximize land-use efficiency and accelerate the energy transition. As agrivoltaic solar projects gain momentum across the country, the demand for reliable and adaptable solar tracking technology continues to grow.
In this context, Solar Steel has secured a new 18 MW agreement for the supply of 1P solar trackers in Italy, further strengthening its position in a market where the company has been actively supporting photovoltaic development since 2012.
This new project reinforces the confidence that developers and EPCs place in Solar Steel’s utility-scale solar technologies and reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to delivering high-performance solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each project location.
Why Agrivoltaics Is Transforming the Italian Solar Market
Italy has become one of the most dynamic markets for agrivoltaics in Europe. Supported by evolving regulatory frameworks and growing interest in dual-use land strategies, agrivoltaic projects are increasingly becoming a preferred solution for combining solar energy production with agricultural productivity.
As a result, solar infrastructure suppliers must demonstrate not only energy performance but also the ability to comply with agrivoltaic design requirements, including agricultural compatibility, land-use efficiency, elevated configurations, and long-term operational reliability.
Solar Steel’s 1P solar trackers for agrivoltaics have been developed to address these challenges, allowing projects to optimize solar generation while supporting the continued use of agricultural land.
More Than 2 GW Delivered in Italy
Over the past decade, Solar Steel has built a strong presence in the Italian market, accumulating more than 2 GW of agreements and deliveries across a wide range of photovoltaic projects.
This track record includes both traditional utility-scale solar developments and an increasing number of agrivoltaics projects, reflecting the growing importance of dual-use solar applications throughout the country.
Thanks to more than 20 years of experience in the solar sector, the company continues to apply its engineering expertise to adapt its solar tracker technology to the technical, environmental, and regulatory requirements of each project.
1P Solar Trackers Designed for Agrivoltaics
As agrivoltaics continues to expand across Europe, project developers require technologies capable of balancing agricultural activity with energy production.
Solar Steel’s 1P solar trackers for agrivoltaics are designed to support this objective through flexible configurations that adapt to different site conditions and project requirements. Their elevated design capabilities help facilitate agricultural operations while maintaining the performance, durability, and reliability expected from utility-scale solar installations.
This adaptability enables developers to comply with agrivoltaic requirements while maximizing the long-term value and productivity of the land.
Supporting the Future of Agrivoltaics in Europe
The latest 18 MW agreement further consolidates Solar Steel’s role in one of Europe’s most active agrivoltaics markets.
As Italy continues to drive the adoption of agrivoltaic solar projects, Solar Steel remains committed to delivering solar tracker solutions that combine engineering excellence, regulatory compliance, bankability, and long-term performance.
By supporting both utility-scale solar plants and agrivoltaics developments, the company continues to help developers unlock new opportunities for sustainable energy generation while preserving the productive use of agricultural land.
