All scope projects agrivoltaic they have associated contractual models and in agriculture, self-consumption makes perfect sense, since this is a sector that is a large consumer of energy.

The potential of agrivoltaics is vast and versatile. Firstly, with numerous competitive advantages in using this technology, which include the reduction of operating costs of exploration; increasing crop resilience and increasing agricultural productivity; reduction of water consumption and reduction of energy consumption.

Associated with this, the setting up of self-consumption energy projects leads to greater resilience in the face of extreme weather events that damage crops and lead to greater energy consumption, also in greenhouses and associated facilities.

Self-consumption will allow Autonomization of electrical energy consumption and it is also important in relation to possible failures in the public energy network, in addition to allowing an agricultural holding to have a cheaper source of energy.

And the energy source may not be solar, despite this being the first idea that comes to mind. Wind energy is also one of the types of energy used, mainly in the agri-food industry as a source of green energy production.

The electrical system allows the mixing of these two systems, which is the hybridization. A hybrid system, which combines solar and wind. Hybridization in agriculture makes perfect sense, in order to combine sun and wind, and thus have green and self-consumed energy.

Here, collective self-consumption is another figure to consider when talking about self-consumption. Since we do not consume all the energy that is produced, especially because agricultural activity has a strong seasonality, it is perfectly possible, with a neighboring production, to establish a way of sharing energy with this neighboring self-consumer. With one or more.

The relationship between these self-consumers is established by internal regulations, which will establish the entry and exit requirements for members, how decisions are made, how they are shared, who pays the fees, what is the destination of surpluses, etc.
