La erosión, y principalmente las condiciones de suelo desnudo asociadas a las explotaciones solares son unproblema ambiental y agronómico. Ante esta situación la AGROVOLTAICA surge como una solución para que  convivan ambas actividades (política energética vs no destrucción de los recursos agrícolas y ganaderos) de forma satisfactoria.

Additional information

The effects of the synergy between the development of low impact solar energy and agriculture under the AGROVOLTAICA concept can be summarized as:
Benefits for farmers:
• Control of wind and soil erosion.
• Increase in agricultural areas used by livestock.
• Self-generation of electricity and reduced energy bills.
• Additional income stream and increased income security.
• Agrovoltaic is compatible with grazing activities
• New market opportunities for shade tolerant crops.
• Protection of natural habitat.
• Safeguard the health of the soil.
• Improved habitat for pollinating species.
Benefits for solar developers:
• Reductions in floor preparation and installation costs.
• Reductions in operation and maintenance costs.
• Reduction of restoration costs at the end of the useful life of the plant.
• Less need for dust suppression in facilities. 
• Decrease in leave time
• Increased solar energy production from a cooler air zone created under the photovoltaic modules.
• Reduction of investments in mitigation. Protection of facilities against the risk of fire
• Possibility of converting livestock use into additional economic income in photovoltaic plants.
