Project overview
Large-scale photovoltaic installations can alter local ecosystems, impacting flora, fauna, and pollinators. Cubico Sustainable Investments sought to integrate biodiversity restoration efforts within its 5-hectare solar plant in Carlentini, Sicily, with the goal of combining renewable energy production with environmental protection. The challenge lies in implementing a scalable, data-driven solution to monitor biodiversity.
Main phases of the project
The first phase of the project involved a satellite analysis using Flora technology, a system based on multispectral image analysis developed in collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency). This quantitative method, powered by artificial intelligence, enables precise and continuous monitoring of land use changes and, consequently, the flora of a specific area.
