Just five years ago, agrivoltaics—the dual use of land for both agriculture and solar energy—was considered a niche concept. Only a handful of solar farms were experimenting with integrating crops, livestock, or pollinator habitats beneath solar panels. Today, that landscape has changed dramatically.
Across Europe and beyond, agrivoltaic strategies are becoming a central part of solar project planning. From sheep grazing and beekeeping to row crops and vineyards, this model is redefining how we think about land use, sustainability, and energy production. At Solar Steel, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.
Why agrivoltaics needs the right solar trackers
Agrivoltaics isn’t just about placing panels above farmland—it’s about designing systems that work in harmony with agricultural activity. That’s where solar trackers come in. Our advanced 1P and 2P solar trackers are engineered to meet the specific demands of AgriPV projects, offering:
- Customizable clearance and height to comply with local regulations and allow for machinery, livestock, or crop growth beneath the panels.
- Flexible tracking angles to optimize sunlight exposure while minimizing shading on crops.
- Durability and adaptability to perform reliably across diverse terrains and climates.
Whether it’s a vineyard in Tuscany or a sheep pasture in southern Spain, our trackers are built to adapt—maximizing energy yield without compromising agricultural productivity.
Fixed-Tilt Structures for challenging terrains in agrivoltaics
In some cases, fixed-tilt structures are the optimal solution—especially in areas with steep slopes or limited space. Our fixed structures are designed with the same AgriPV principles in mind: adaptable height, robust design, and seamless integration with agricultural operations.
Own tracking control systems for smarter agrivoltaics farming
One of the key advantages of Solar Steel’s AgriPV solutions is our proprietary solar tracking control system. This system allows on-site users to:
- Adjust tracker positions and rotation angles based on crop cycles or field tasks.
- Manage different crop zones within the same solar park.
- Optimize light distribution for plant health and yield.
In addition, our control platform includes advanced data analytics and predictive maintenance tools, helping operators detect and resolve issues before they impact performance—saving time, reducing costs, and ensuring long-term reliability.
Built for Today. Ready for Tomorrow.
As agrivoltaics continues to evolve, so do we. At Solar Steel, we’re not just supplying hardware—we’re delivering end-to-end AgriPV solutions that combine engineering excellence, regulatory compliance, and a deep understanding of land stewardship.
With hundreds of megawatts already deployed in dual-use projects, we’re ready to meet the growing demand for sustainable, multifunctional solar infrastructure.
