Beyond being an independent solar energy producer, Amarenco wants to be a player in the decarbonization and transformation of our economic model.
Agri-voltaic systems, which combine agriculture and photovoltaic energy, have evolved rapidly and are set to continue growing, especially in cross-border areas which are ideally located for renewable energy. Although these systems offer many benefits, such as decarbonising the economy and strengthening rural economies, a lack of knowledge is holding back their full potential. The AgriPower project aims to develop intelligent systems to optimise the efficiency of agrivoltaic installations by maintaining the focus on agricultural activity while integrating energy production. It includes detailed monitoring of agricultural and livestock variables and pilot trials, as well as support for producers and policy recommendations for the energy transition and agricultural viability.
The Agripower project, with which Amarenco is associated, is supported by :

AMARENCO will play a crucial role in analysing cross-border development opportunities in the photovoltaic sector, advising on pilot actions to optimise technological performance. In addition, the company will coordinate a personalised support system for producers interested in agrivoltaic systems, with a multidisciplinary approach involving agricultural producers, research bodies, technology companies and energy distributors.
