To optimize and increasingly leverage the participation of this sector in the national economy, segment constantly searches ways to reinvent yourself, whether through the use of technologies such as drones, sensors and GPS for monitoring and managing production, the use of more efficient management and cultivation techniques, the implementation of sustainable practices and the search for new management strategies.
Thinking about it, the MTR Solar, manufacturer and distributor of photovoltaic equipment and structures announced the creation of Vertical Agro MTR BESS, which brings to Brazilian agribusiness the provision of integrated hybrid solutions for energy, sustainability and reduced operational costs.
The MTR is carried out in partnership with the manufacturer of photovoltaic technologies GoodWe. Together, the Companies will supply the equipment and install and maintain the system.
A hybrid solution consists of an integrated system of diesel, solar energy, generator and storage energy through batteries (with duration varying between 8h, 14pm and 24h) and comes as alternative to pivot, equipment used for irrigation of plantations.
According to MTR Solar, the system offers a reduction of up to 70% in energy costs for the producer and a reduction of up to 50% in water consumption, due to the intelligent irrigation system.
