Agricultural and photovoltaic shade houses

Innovative solutions to protect crops, manage light, and generate clean energy.

Shade house for greenhouses and the ideal microclimate for plants

Thanks to their functional design and the use of high-quality materials, Europrogress agricultural shade houses help create an ideal microclimate, enhancing growing conditions for plants and reducing the negative effects of excessive sun exposure.

Their dual function – shading and photovoltaic energy generation – makes these structures a sustainable and cost-effective solution for modern farms focused on energy efficiency and productivity.

These systems are perfectly suited for greenhouses and nurseries, allowing growers to regulate temperature, filter natural light and protect crops from hail, wind and UV radiation.

Our custom-made shade houses optimise light management and ensure proper ventilation, limiting heat build-up during the warmer months. Entirely manufactured in Italy, they are built using durable, high-performance materials that guarantee structural stability, long service life and a clean, harmonious appearance.

Why install an agricultural shade house?

Installing an agricultural shade house allows crops to be effectively protected from weather conditions and thermal stress.

These systems help reduce water evaporation, preserve soil moisture, and limit temperature fluctuations, creating a more stable growing environment.

Agricultural shade houses are particularly beneficial for horticultural, fruit-growing, and ornamental plant operations, where correct light and temperature management has a direct impact on crop yield.

They also play an important environmental role, promoting a more sustainable use of natural resources while improving farms’ overall profitability.

The different Europrogress shade house models

Europrogress offers a wide range of shade houses designed for different agricultural applications:

  • agricultural shade house: ideal for greenhouses and open-field cultivation, providing effective crop protection;
  • horticultural shade house: suitable for nurseries and ornamental plant growers, offering adjustable shading based on plant requirements;
  • photovoltaic or solar shade houses: integrating semi-transparent solar modules to generate renewable energy without compromising the light needed for crop growth.

These structures can be equipped with anti-hail shading nets, available in different densities and colours depending on the required level of shading. Manual or motorised side and front closures allow full control of ventilation and light.

Thanks to their modular design, Europrogress shade houses adapt easily to different climates, soil types, and levels of solar exposure.

Photovoltaic shade houses: growing crops while producing energy

Agricultural photovoltaic shade houses allow farms to harness solar energy while protecting crops at the same time. They are fitted with solar panels or semi-transparent modules integrated into the roof, ensuring the right balance between shading and natural light.

This solution offers a double advantage: it improves agricultural productivity while reducing energy costs through self-consumption. Durable and environmentally friendly, photovoltaic shade houses support the energy transition and enhance the value of agricultural land.

Europrogress supports each installation from the design phase through to commissioning, ensuring maximum photovoltaic performance.

Manufacturing and installation of our agricultural shade houses

Every Europrogress project is based on a tailored technical study that includes site analysis, load calculations, structural orientation, and solar yield optimisation. Our shade houses are manufactured from galvanised steel or aluminium, materials that guarantee high mechanical strength and long-term durability.

The systems can be completed with anti-hail nets, thermal screens or photovoltaic panels, depending on specific operational needs. Installation is quick and fully compliant with European standards, carried out by qualified technicians who ensure system safety and efficiency.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions about agricultural shade houses

Is authorisation required to install a shade house?

Yes, depending on the covered area and installation location, a permit or formal declaration may be required. Europrogress also supports clients with administrative procedures.

Can an agricultural shade house be combined with an existing greenhouse?

Absolutely. Shade houses can be installed above or alongside an existing greenhouse to improve crop protection and thermal management.

How much energy can a photovoltaic shade house produce?

Output depends on the covered surface, the type of solar modules and solar exposure. On average, a well-oriented system can generate several kilowatts per installation.
