Photovoltaics in agriculture, an important resource for 75% of Sardinian companies
Agricultural Studies Center: "A law on the subject is missing, Sardinia is one of the few regions not to have one"
75% of Sardinian agricultural enterprises are interested in the production of electricity from renewable sources , in particular agrisolar and agrivoltaic , the first to be installed on the roofs of the farm buildings and the second to be installed on agricultural land, with high structures 3 o 4 meters where under the panels agricultural crops must be cultivated (compulsorily).
The analysis is from the Agricultural Studies Center which met thousands of rural entrepreneurs on this issue. For Tore Piana , president of the CSA, "a strong boost was given by the energy crisis due to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, one of the major producers of imported gas in Italy. In addition - he adds - the economic crisis and the high costs of fertilizers , feed, diesel and energy lead the company to seek alternative sources of income among the activities connected to the main agricultural one ".
During the meetings, the majority of farmers said they knew the agrivoltaic at least superficially but a good 50% declared that adequate information was lacking . "There is a lot of news and fake news, in particular on social channels - observes Piana - The almost regulatory vacuum of regional laws and devices (until 2011, the only reference being the PPR) certainly does not help: it is urgent to approve a law on the matter, which is necessary to clarify. Sardinia is one of the few regions not to have it ".
