AGRO SOLAR by SKILLICORN Technologies
How integrated solar power creates synergies and adds value to technologically advanced, innovative agriculture
With a global population projected at close to 10 billion by 2050, and urbanization exploding, the declining stock of cultivable land on the planet cannot meet the combined demands for food, biomass and energy. One generalizable solution to this problem is the greenhoused, STL 'Agro Solar' system, which massively intensifies agricultural productivity and labour deployment, while simultaneously accommodating advanced, biogas-firmed rooftop PV solar.
STL systems are constructed above the ground and employ dense, high tech continuously-harvested aquaculture to provide nutrients to “organic hydroponics,” and carbon to advanced syngas production. Agro Solar farms can be deployed on agriculturally unproductive land, thus not only expanding the agricultural foot print, but also providing a high density of jobs in a non-urban context – all-the-while sustain-ably increasing distributed supplies of electricity.
By combining the innate advantages of regionally distributed firm, 100% renewable power production with technologically advanced aquaculture and attendant organic hydroponics and high value-added processing of dense, high-volume agricultural production (fish, prawns, salad makings, specialty vegetables, herbs & vine fruit), the gestalt of STL Agro Solar farms renders them significantly more profitable than isolated investments into any of its three essential components. Land, labour, available water and power are all rendered dramatically more productive and profitable.
STL Agro Solar farms help national and regional governments meet their food and energy security objectives, and mitigate some of the extreme negative effects of uncontrolled urbanization – while also contributing significantly to national commitments to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate-change. 100% renewable energy, technologically advanced green-housed food production and food processing – deployed together within a greatly reduced footprint and distributed regionally.
STL Agro Solar farms are appropriate to almost any circumstance in the world; depopulated hot or cold deserts such as the Middle East and Mongolia, respectively, as well as densely populated semi-tropical hydraulic locations like Bangladesh, and the Nile and Mekong deltas.
