Farming use
Crops, agronomic practices, seasonality, machinery and the operational needs of those farming the land.
Agrivoltaics
Farming and energy, designed together.
Agrivoltaics combine farming and solar generation on the same land. For both activities to work together, the project must start with how the land is farmed and the characteristics of its setting.
Crops, farming operations, access and site conditions guide the plant layout.
The first assessment
The assessments that shape the project.
Before defining the layout, we assess farming activity, site conditions, grid connection options and the permitting path.
Site conditions
Landform, access, land availability, constraints and the relationship with the landscape.
Grid connection
Possible connection solutions and the works needed to connect the plant to the grid.
Permitting framework
Applicable procedures, territorial and environmental constraints, and the studies needed to assess feasibility.
Design starts with farming
Farming shapes the technical decisions.
Layout, dimensions and technical solutions take shape through assessments of the land and farming activity.
The landowner and the person farming it may have different needs. Both are considered from the outset. Nazca coordinates farming and technical expertise to bring them together in the project.
Designing the integration
Farming needs guide the plant design.
1Continued farming
The crops and planned activities guide how the plant is arranged.
2Farming operations
Heights, spacing and access are assessed against field work and the machinery in use.
3Water management
Farming water needs are considered when assessing the project configuration.
4Landscape integration
Landform, landscape, constraints and required works shape the final solution.
FAQ
The first questions.
Can every site host an agrivoltaic project?
No. Farming conditions, constraints, access, grid connection and permitting must be assessed case by case.
Must farming stop?
Continued farming is a defining part of the project and guides its configuration from the earliest stages.
