HOME / Vatican solar distributed solar system - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDYes. Vatican City has joined Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo to become one of just eight countries in the world to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources. Several church organizations around the world are making the move to solar.
“Fratello sole” or “Brother Sun” was Pope Francis' Apostolic Letter that detailed how solar power is an invitation for people around the world to make lifestyle changes to counter global warming and the “pervasive” use of fossil fuels.
Sometimes the solar arrays are situated on top of greenhouses, interwoven among crops, or elevated plants. Where is the Vatican's solar installation located? The agrivoltaic plant is situated on the Holy See's property at Santa Maria di Galeria on the outskirts of Rome.
According to the Vatican's press office, the installation will apply the most advanced solutions currently available, balancing clean energy generation with the preservation of agricultural use, the region's hydrogeological stability, and the protection of its cultural and archaeological heritage (ZENIT News / Rome, 08.01.2025).-
Part of Pope Francis'' dream was to ensure the city state in Rome ran on green energy. An agrivoltaic plant on Vatican property is the result.
The project aims to meet the full energy needs of both the Vatican State and Vatican Radio using solar technology integrated with agricultural activity.
Pope Benedict XVI kicked off the Vatican''s green initiatives in 2008 by installing solar panels on its audience hall. But it has been Francis, 87, who has lambasted human-caused climate change and
