Setta Solar is an innovative startup specializing in the development and implementation of 3D-printed modular solar panels for the agrivoltaics market, specifically targeting vineyards. Our unique solar panels, crafted using cutting-edge 3D printing technology and recycled materials, offer a reliable, sustainable, and efficient solution to the challenges faced by the wine industry.
Setta Solar
Perspective
The global agrivoltaics market was valued at $3.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $9.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2022 to 2031.
Reliability
We have no doubt that Portugal is the perfect place to launch our startup for several reasons. First of all, Portugal has a high solar potential due to its favorable climate and geographical position. The country receives an average of 2,500 to 3,000 hours of sunshine per year,
making it an ideal place to generate solar energy.

Peculiarities
In addition, Portugal has a thriving wine industry, ranked 10th in the world in the production and import of grapes and wine. By focusing on vineyards, Setta Solar can enter a lucrative market that is increasingly focused on sustainability and energy efficiency.
TECHNOLOGY
Innovative modular design | Broke or inefficient cell detection | Analyzing soils' humidity level
Modular design
Innovative modular design
Modularity allows you to optimally occupy space, create a unique system that clearly meets the needs of the customer, in accordance with the geography and landscape.
This improves efficiency and maintainability and reduces maintenance costs.
This improves efficiency and maintainability and reduces maintenance costs.
Analyzing soils' humidity level and UV factor
Software which has soil moisture, UV and temperature sensors, controls irrigation systems and keeps soil and air conditions on the most appropriate and consistent level.
Peculiarities
Through the use of a 3D printer, Setta Solar Panels can print the panels from recycled plastic, which makes them more environmentally friendly.
3D printing allows us to quickly and efficiently change the design and make the entire system unique for a specific customer - change the slope, light transmission, weight and size.
