With the start of the collaboration between TETHYS and Synergy takes shape a new operational approach for the design, evaluation and management of agrivoltaic systems that unite digital innovation And environmental sustainability.

At the heart of the agreement, the integration of the Tethys DSS system – developed to remotely monitor agricultural dynamics via satellite data – in the chain of technical and agronomic services made available by Syniergy.
The objective is twofold: on the one hand, support the authorization phases of the plants; on the other hand, ensure continuous and objective monitoring of agricultural activity during photovoltaic operation.

Pedo-agronomic relationship: the basis for conscious design

The collaboration includes the creation of a complete soil and agronomic report, necessary to define the context in which the plant will be built. The analysis includes physical, chemical and biological parameters of the soil, along with information on flora, fauna, current agricultural use and regulatory constraints.

All data will be accompanied by georeferenced maps and images which will facilitate the territorial framework and the landscape insertion of the project.

Agronomic and cultivation plan: compatibility first and foremost

Starting from agronomic characteristics of the site and from photovoltaic system layout, will be defined as a compatible cultivation plan, which identifies:

• the Cultivable species depending on microclimate and shading,

• the optimal rotation of crops

• the agronomic techniques more suitable

• the sstrategies for efficient water use and the reduction of chemical inputs.

This phase is crucial to ensure that the system maintains high agricultural productivity.

TETHYS DSS: satellite data for agronomic and environmental scenarios

One of the key elements of the collaboration is the use of the TETHYS system to generate forecast scenarios on agricultural activity and the environment. Through the forms Watch, Aqua And Grow, the DSS allows you to:

• analyze the vegetative state of crops through indices such as NDVI, NDWI, LAI and fCover,

• estimate irrigation needs And the potential water savings,

• monitor biomass production and the absorption of CO₂.

Thanks to the historical data and advanced environmental models (like SEBAL), TETHYS allows to demonstrate the environmental and agricultural sustainability of agrivoltaic systems already in place in the planning stage.
