With the Hearing held in The Hague on 17/10/2018 REM Tec obtained the revocation of the patent EP 2 811 819 filed in 2013 by the Fraunhofer Institute.
Fraunhofer's patent referred to agro-photovoltaic plants for the simultaneous use of agricultural crops and production of energy from solar sources, claiming characteristics already present in REM Tec's AGROVOLTAICO® plants, installed in Italy in 2011 for a total of 6.7 MW.
In addition, the use of agricultural land for the production of energy from solar sources in compliance with agricultural practices is present in the REM Tec proprietary patents that protect the AGROVOLTAICO® system and its applications.
