Salvaterra

The freestanding photovoltaic planter that combines sustainability and design

SalvaTerra is a vertical photovoltaic planter consisting of two photovoltaic modules. Its base is a self-supporting Corten steel basin designed to hold plants, shrubs, and flowers and promote their growth, creating a photovoltaic pergola.

The SalvaTerra is equipped with an electrical pre-wiring system, which makesinstallation and assembly simple and straightforward. Furthermore, the non-permanent structure offers the flexibility to customize the SalvaTerra system as desired. This innovative vertical photovoltaic system was developed to replace conventional balcony photovoltaic systems in a more elegant and efficient way. Not only does SalvaTerra generate more energy than conventional balcony systems, but as a freestanding garden photovoltaic system, it also adds a touch of tasteful sophistication to outdoor spaces.

EASY INSTALLATION OF "
"

The SalvaTerra product is delivered pre-assembled. The wiring is already in place, so you can assemble the planter easily, intuitively, and quickly.


maintenance

SalvaTerra does not require any special care. In fact, simply taking good care of the plants is enough to achieve excellent results.

SalvaTerra – a photovoltaic planter that generates renewable and sustainable energy.

MODELS

To meet these varying requirements, we have developed two product lines:

Salvaterra COMPANY

A Custom Solution for Large Areas:
– Design, Beautify, Save

The corporate solution can be customized to meet specific requirements. It was designed as part of the “Green Design” concept to create functional outdoor spaces, resulting in a solar system consisting of multiple pools that generates renewable and sustainable energy on-site. The photovoltaic system is installed by an electrician.

Three “SalvaTerra” solar-powered planters: sustainable design and renewable energy generation.

Salvaterra FAMILY

Ready-to-use solution: “
” – simple, effective, and stylish

The “Family” photovoltaic planter is easy to assemble thanks to its straightforward instructions and is ready for use right away. It consists of a 2.3-meter-long, 0.56-meter-thick container made of Corten steel; two vertical photovoltaic modules extend the planter’s height by 2.5 meters. The “Family” solution is equipped with a micro-inverter to convert direct current to alternating current, as well as a Schuko outlet, which facilitates connection to the home’s electrical grid.

PRODUCT FEATURES

High-performance bifacial photovoltaic modules:

By installing photovoltaic modules—whether standard or bifacial “ ” modules—the planter can efficiently generate solar energy and thus contribute to sustainability.

Pre-installation of power cables:

Pre-wiring the power cables simplifies installation and connection to the power grid, thereby reducing the time and cost required for commissioning.

Integration with plant-based elements:

This planter allows you to grow plants or berries and offers a way to integrate nature into an urban or architectural setting.

Adjustable mobility to suit your needs:

Thanks to its portable design, the planter with solar panels can be moved as needed.

INNOVATIVE, durable design:

The basin and the Corten steel supports are made of Corten steel ; the basin and the supports are characterized by remarkable corrosion resistance , which ensures a long service life and gives them a modern appearance.

VARIOUS APPLICATIONS

The Versatility That is the strength of this planter. Since it is a freestanding vertical photovoltaic system that requires no special on-site preparation, it adapts perfectly to a variety of environments:

SETUP

urban areas, commercial areas, gardens, parks, or recreational areas, as well as at charging stations for electric vehicles;

DELIMIT

Outdoor areas in industrial, commercial, and urban settings: SalvaTerra can be arranged in rows, starting with two containers and extending to form a barrier, for example along bike paths and/or pedestrian zones;

ORGANIZE

Areas such as public or private parking lots; in restaurants, agritourism establishments, and hotels to partition off outdoor areas.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE WITH SALVATERRA?

Thanks to its eco-friendly design, the SalvaTerra not only enhances outdoor spaces but also helps protect the environment and reduce energy costs.

Economic Forecast for the “ ” Photovoltaic System – Costs and Revenues Over Time

Graphic illustrating the benefits of the vertical photovoltaic planter: sustainability, energy savings, and renewable energy.

The graph illustrates that investing in a photovoltaic flower box yields significant economic benefits over time. Although there are initial purchase costs in the first few years, revenue exceeds costs as early as 4 to 5 years after purchasing the planter, marking the start of increasing profits.

Since then, revenue has continued to rise rapidly, demonstrating a consistent and solid economic return. Investing in the photovoltaic planter today not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also ensures energy savings and higher yields, making it a smart and profitable decision for the future.

Thanks to the photovoltaic bonus, those who choose SalvaTerra can also benefit from additional government incentives, making the investment even more worthwhile.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

The Environmental Impact of SalvaTerra This product from Etway is an excellent example of how technology can be used to promote sustainability and energy efficiency. This innovative planter, featuring vertical photovoltaic modules, not only enhances the urban landscape but also contributes to a greener future in several significant ways.

Clean Energy Generation: SalvaTerra's vertical photovoltaic modules capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing the Carbon Footprint: By using solar energy, salvaterra helps reduce the carbon footprint of urban areas. The energy generated can be used to power outdoor lighting and small appliances, and can be fed into the local power grid.

Incorporation of natural elements: The planter is designed to hold plants and flowers that not only beautify the cityscape but also improve air quality through photosynthesis by absorbing CO₂ and releasing oxygen.

Sustainable Materials: The Corten steel used for the planter is known for its durability and weather resistance, which reduces the need for replacement and maintenance and, as a result, minimizes the environmental impact associated with its production and disposal.

In summary, Etway’s “SalvaTerra” is an eco-friendly solution that fits seamlessly into the vision of a sustainable future. With its innovative design and eco-friendly functionality, it represents a step toward reducing environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
