Salvaterra:
The Self-Supporting Photovoltaic Planter that Combines Sustainability and Design.
SalvaTerra is a vertical photovoltaic system consisting of two photovoltaic modules, the base of which is a self-supporting Corten Steel tank designed to accommodate and encourage the growth of plants, shrubs and flowers, thus creating a photovoltaic pergola.
The SalvaTerra is equipped with an electrical prewiring system, which makesinstallation and assembly simple and easy. In addition, the non-fixed structure gives the flexibility that allows the SalvaTerra to be readjusted as desired. This innovative vertical PV system is designed to replace traditional balcony PV in a more elegant and efficient way. In addition to generating more energy than more classic balcony systems, the Salvaterra furnishes outdoor spaces with taste and sophistication, thanks to its characteristic of being a self-supporting garden photovoltaic.

MODELS
Based on various needs, we created two product lines:
SALVATERRA CORPORATE
Tailor-made solution for large areas:
design, beautify, save
The Corporate solution is customizable according to specific needs. It was born as a green design element to functionalize outdoor spaces, thus becoming a solar fence, consisting of more than one tank, providing renewable and sustainable energy on site. The photovoltaic system will be installed by an electrician.
SALVATERRA FAMILY
Off-the-shelf solution:
easy, effective and design-friendly
The Family photovoltaic planter is easy to assemble, thanks to a simple instruction booklet, and ready to use. It consists of a Corten steel tub 2.3 meters in length and a thickness of 0.56 meters, two vertical photovoltaic modules extend the planter 2.5 meters in height. The Family solution is equipped with a micro-inverter to convert direct current to alternating current and a Schuko outlet that facilitates connection to the household grid.
PRODUCT FEATURES
HIGH PERFORMANCE Double-sided Photovoltaic Modules :
The presence of photovoltaic modules, either standard or double-sided, enables the planter to generate solar energy efficiently, contributing to sustainability.
Prewiring of Electrical Cables:
By pre-wiring electrical cables, installation and connection to the network are simplified, reducing implementation time and costs.
Supplementation with Plant Elements:
This planter allows the cultivation of plants or small fruits, offering the possibility of integrating nature into the urban or architectural environment.
Adjustable mobility on need:
Due to its non-fixed structure, the planter with solar panels can be moved as needed.
INNOVATIVE long-lasting design:
Made from corten steel, the bathtub and uprights exhibit remarkable corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life and giving a modern aesthetic appearance.
DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
The versatility is the highlight of the planter. Since it is a self-supporting vertical PV, which does not require any special preparation work on the site, it is perfectly suitable for a variety of settings:
FURNISH
urban, commercial spaces, gardens, parks or recreational areas, at electric vehicle charging stations;
