Problem
Traditional agricultural practices often involve the use of plastic tunnels for crop protection, which can be environmentally unsustainable and limit the efficient use of land for both agriculture and energy production. Optimizing light transmission to crops under these tunnels can also be challenging, affecting overall yield and quality.
Solution
Insolight offers an agrivoltaic solution called insolagrin, which replaces conventional plastic tunnels with translucent solar modules. This system enables the simultaneous production of solar energy and protection of crops, allowing for dual land use. The key innovation lies in the dynamic light transmission control, which allows farmers to optimize the amount of light reaching the crops based on seasonal changes and specific agronomic needs. By integrating solar energy generation with crop cultivation, Insolight aims to enhance agricultural sustainability and profitability.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes farmers looking to optimize land use, improve crop yields, and generate solar energy, as well as companies in the agricultural sector seeking sustainable solutions.
