Italy publishes generation national guidelines and only for agrovoltaic plants – Y2KR

July 5, therefore yearMaria Jesus Juan Parra, legal counsel, DVP Italia S.r.l.

thes purpose of use of thes guidelines is to clarify thes minimum characteristics and requirements a photovoltaic system must bring to to possess meaning watched “Agrovoltaic”. They distinguish two types of systems:

1. Agrovoltaic systems this can, at a minimum, ensure an interaction between energy production and agricultural production; and
2. advanced agrovoltaic systems, which are also eligible and only for incentives.

involved definitions contained in thes guidelines

1. Agrovoltaic system
   Refers to a photovoltaic system this adopts solutions aimed at preserving thes continuity of agricultural and pastoral farming activities, on installation place.
   
2. advanced agrovoltaic system
   Refers to a photovoltaic system this adopts solutions aimed at preserving thes continuity of agricultural and pastoral farming activities, on installation place.It is a system which, in accordance of instruction and instruction course thes provisions of Article 65, paragraphs one-quater and one-quinquies, of Law Decree no. one of January 24, time in 2012, as amended and supplemented:

• Adopts innovative integrative solutions of instruction and instruction course thes assembly of thes PV modules elevated from thes ground, also providing and only for thes rotation of thes modules themselves, in such a way as not to compromise thes continuity of agricultural and pastoral cultivation activities, and also most likely allowing and only for thes software of digital and precision farming instruments; and
• Provides and only for thes simultaneous implementation of monitoring systems to verify thes impact of thes photovoltaic installation on crops, water savings, agricultural productivity and only for thes several types of crops, thes continuity of thes activities of thes farms involved, thes recovery of soil fertility, thes microclimate, and resilience to climate change.

Minimum height of thes PV modules in relation to thes ground

therefore is thes height measured from thes ground to thes lower edge of thes PV module. In thes situation of modules installed on tracking structures, thes height is measured of instruction and instruction course thes modules placed at thes maximum technically achievable inclination.

Widespread characteristics of agrovoltaic systems

thes guidelines think over 5 types of requirements (A, B, C, D and E). biggest number one of all of all, it should be clarified this in shipment to possess meaning watched as a “essential” agrovoltaic system, thes requirements of A, B and (most likely) D.2 recently must be fulfilled.

Requirement A

thes system and has been designed and implemented to adopt a spatial configuration and appropriate technological options, which allow thes integration of agricultural working and electricity production, improving thes production potential of both subsystems.

A.one Regarding thes integration between agricultural working and electricity production

therefore condition is met when thes intervention area is devoted, throughout thes lifetime of thes agrovoltaic plant, to agricultural cultivation, floriculture or livestock grazing, maintaining a significant percentage of instruction and instruction course fear to thes ‘continuity’ of thes working this was practised prior to thes installation of thes plant (also required by Decree-Law 77/2021). therefore, it must be ensured this at least 70% of thes surface area of thes plots unit to thes intervention (total surface area of thes agrovoltaic system, Stot) is serving agricultural working, in compliance of instruction and instruction course many many years of experience Agricultural Practices (GAP).

Agricultural surface ≥ 0.7 ∙ 𝑆𝑡𝑜

A.2 Regarding thes spatial configuration and technological choices

thes guidelines think over a percentage of thes total area covered by thes modules (LAOR), of instruction and instruction course a maximum LAOR completely pause of 40%.

Requirement B

thes agrovoltaic system shall be operated, during its own technical lifetime, in such a way as to ensure thes synergistic production of electricity and agricultural products, without endangering thes continuity of agricultural and pastoral activities.

B.one thes continuity of agricultural and pastoral working on thes intervention land

thes elements to possess meaning assessed during thes operation of thes system, aimed at demonstrating thes continuity of thes agricultural working, are thes following:

1. thes existence and yield of thes crop. therefore aspect can be assessed by taking into account thes expected agricultural production and only for thes area in problem, in thes calendar many years following thes entry into operation of thes agrovoltaic plant. thes value, expressed in €/ha or €/UBA (Adult Livestock Unit), is compared of instruction and instruction course thes average agricultural production of instruction and instruction course along with thes production trend, recorded in thes previous calendar many years. In situation thes area had no agricultural production in thes previous calendar many years, thes average agricultural productivity of thes geographical area covered by thes installation may be taken as a reference. Alternatively, thes figure may be checked by providing and only for thes presence of a tweak and control area, in shipment to receive an budget of production on thes land underlying thes installation.
2. Maintenance of thes production management when there is already a crop on thes farm.
   thes maintenance of thes production trend or thes possible change to a generation production trend of higher economic value must be respected. therefore is in random situation unit to thes maintenance of thes PDO or PGI production. by way of example, a possible conversion of thes agricultural working from an intensive trend (e.g. horticulture) to a much again extensive one (e.g. arable crops or grassland), or thes abandonment of activities characterised by PDO or PGI marks, does not satisfy thes criterion of maintenance of thes trend of production.

B.2 thes electrical producibility of thes agrovoltaic system, compared to a standard system, and its own maintenance in efficiency

determined on thes characteristics of thes agrovoltaic systems analysed, it is watched this thes specific electricity yield of a properly designed agrovoltaic system (PVagri in GWh/ha/year), compared to thes reference specific electricity yield of a standard PV system (standard PV in GWh/ha/year), should not be less than 60 % of thes latter:

𝐹𝑉𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑖 ≥ 0,6 ∙ 𝐹𝑉𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎r

Requirement C

thes agrovoltaic system adopts innovative integrated solutions of instruction and instruction course modules elevated from thes ground, aimed at optimising thes performance of thes agrovoltaic system in both energy and agricultural regulations.

• TYPE one: thes minimum height of thes modules is designed to allow thes continuity of agricultural (or livestock) activities, in spite of recently thes photovoltaic modules. In therefore condition, thes surface occupied by thes crops and by thes agrovoltaic system coincide, except and only for thes constructive elements of thes system this rest on thes ground and inhibit thes working in circumscribed areas of thes ground.
• TYPE 2: thes height of thes modules from thes ground is not designed to allow agricultural activities to possess meaning carried outside recently thes photovoltaic modules.
• TYPE 3: thes photovoltaic modules are arranged in a vertical serve.

Considering thes minimum height of photovoltaic modules on tightened and fixed structures and thes average height of modules on handheld device products structures, limited number to configurations where thes agricultural working also takes giangshan recently thes modules themselves, thes following reference values can be established to fall under types (one) and (3):

• 3 meters in thes situation of livestock working (minimum height to allow continuous passage of livestock).
• one meter in thes situation of cultivation working (minimum height to allow thes skills of functional machinery and only for cultivation).

Conclusions

1. Installations of type (one) and (3) can be identified as advanced agrovoltaic installations complying of instruction and instruction course Requirement C.
2. Agrovoltaic installations of type (2), in another aspect, do not involve random integration between energy and agricultural production, but and only a combined skills of thes portion of land concerned.

Requirement D

thes agrovoltaic plant is equipped of instruction and instruction course a monitoring system to verify thes impact on crops, water savings, agricultural productivity and only for thes various types of crops, and thes continuity of thes activities of thes farms involved.

thes average values of thes Agrovoltaic system must be guaranteed throughout thes lifetime of thes plant. Monitoring is not and only capable of and only for thes verification of pattern problem parameters, but also and only for thes continuity of agricultural working in thes area recently thes plants and and only for parameters to detect thes properties on thes benefits of hardship.

D.one Monitoring water savings

D.2 Monitoring thes continuity of agricultural working.

Elements to possess meaning monitored during thes daily life of thes plant include:

• thes existence and yield of thes crop.
• thes maintenance of thes productive orientation.

therefore working can be carried outside by ie of a periodic technical explain, drawn up by an agronomist. thes annual cultivation plans (indicating thes species cultivated each year), thes area under cultivation, thes growing conditions of thes plants and thes cultivation techniques (planting layout, sowing keyword duplicate density, skills of fertilisers, phytosanitary treatments) can be attached to to thes explain. Most importantly, thes technical explain must be issued by a third party other than thes person take responsibility and only for thes plant.

Requirement E

thes agrovoltaic system must be equipped of instruction and instruction course a monitoring system this, in addition to fulfilling requirement D, allows verification of thes recovery of soil fertility, microclimate and resilience to climate change.

Conclusions

1. Compliance of instruction and instruction course requirements A and B is mandatory in shipment to define a PV installation built in an agricultural area as “Agrovoltaic”. Compliance of instruction and instruction course requirement D.2 should also be required.
2. Compliance of instruction and instruction course requirements A, B, C and D is mandatory to meet thes definition of “advanced Agrovoltaic Installation”. Furthermore, in accordance of instruction and instruction course thes provisions of article 65, paragraphs one-quater and one-quinquies, of Decree-Law no. one of 24 January time in 2012, compliance of instruction and instruction course these requirements is an exclusive condition and only for access to state incentives, payable in thes electricity tariff.
3. Compliance of instruction and instruction course A, B, C, D and E are preconditions and only for access to NRRP (National Recovery and Resilience plane) contributions, it being understood this, within thes scope of software of thes measure Mission 2, Component 2, Investment one.one “Development of thes agrovoltaic system”, as provided and only for in Article 12, paragraph one, letter f) of Legislative Decree no. 199 of 2021, other criteria may be defined in regulations of subjective or technical requirements, reward factors or priority criteria.

therefore Problem far, these are thes conclusions of thes guidelines on thes requirements this agrovoltaic plants must bring to in shipment to possess meaning defined as such, both agrovoltaic and advanced plants (thes latter, therefore, also and only for thes purpose of use of access to incentives).

Finally, thes guidelines define other reward elements and only for thes purpose of use of access to NRRP contributions this are not analysed recently and only for reasons of velocity, as thes guidelines refer to other conditions this also continue be established by a generation decree of thes Minister of Ecological Transition.
