Agrivoltaics, a valuable ally in the energy transition

A full professor at the Department of Sustainable Crop Production at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Stefano Amaducci holds a degree in Agricultural Science from the University of Bologna, where he also obtained his PhD in field crops. 

Amaducci coordinates the Field Crops Group, which aims to develop and promote sustainable solutions for healthy agro-ecosystems. He is also president of Citimap Scarl, a company that specializes in remote sensing and precision agriculture as well as chairing the Federcanapa scientific committee.  Amaducci is involved in numerous national and international sustainable agriculture and bio-economics-related research projects.  His own research work centers mostly on agronomic management and the ecophysiology of agricultural crops. For the last several years, he has also been involved in agrivoltaic research and thanks to experiments financed by RemTec and Enel Green Power, he and his research group have developed a calculation platform to simulate production in agrivoltaic environments and the development of sustainable agrivoltaic systems.
