Morcone and Acquafredda agri-PV projects, Italy
Name of the Project
Morcone and Acquafredda agri-PV projects.
Location
Province of Benevento, in the Campania region of Italy.
Project Owner/s
Multinational energy group RWE.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of RWE’s first commercial-scale agri-PV plants – Morcone
(9.8 MWac) and Acquafredda (9.3 MWac).
More than 32 500 solar modules will be installed.
The projects will use elevated tracker systems: the solar modules are elevated on a 3-m-high tracker structure with a movable axis. This will increase the energy yield of the PV systems.
Crops will be harvested beneath the panels in a fully integrated energy-agri-system, increasing agricultural production while optimising land use. The panels provide protection against hail, frost, drought and heavy rain.
The projects will be able to supply green electricity to more than 13 000 Italian households.
