Busseto: the largest solar tracker plant in Emilia Romagna

In the municipality of Busseto (Parma, Italy), DG Energy together with PV Eurosolution redevelops abandoned industrial sites in favor of energy transition, developing a tracker-based photovoltaic system with double-sided modules to produce energy for agriculture.

The conversion of brownfields into agricultural areas for sustainability.

In the municipality of Busseto, located in the province of Parma, PV Eursolution is pursuing the development of a large solar tracker system with bifacial modules. The solution is particularly innovative in that it is built on single-sided trackers that not only maximize energy production in a limited space, but can also be used in support of an agrivoltaic system, allowing livestock to move freely within the solar farm.

The conversion of brownfields into agricultural areas is an advantage for environmental sustainability. Indeed, a sustainable project is not only limited to energy sources, but also optimizes available resources, bringing value to the community.

The photovoltaic project was designed to maximize the functions and efficiency of the new use, using a tracker structure, which is a state-of-the-art photovoltaic system that ensures optimal exposure of the bifacial photovoltaic modules, which, in turn, allows sunlight to better penetrate the module by taking it back from reflection with the earth's surface.

Synergy

The Busseto plant represents one of the largest solar tracker plants in Emilia Romagna, with an installed capacity of 7 MW, enough to power more than 1,800 households or several industrial manufacturing plants with clean energy.

Since February 2023, PV Eurosolution has been in charge of all phases of BOM implementation: from the complexity of civil works to the testing and commissioning of the plant in record time (only 4 months).

Thanks to this project, Pv Eurosolution confirms its role as a point of reference in the construction of photovoltaic systems in the Italian market.
