A Mediterranean market shaded by solar canopies — powering food stalls, coolers, and community energy exchanges.
Solar Open food Market — Sustainable Open-Air Marketplaces
Empowering local vendors with clean solar energy, thermic comfort, and circular economy innovation.
Join the PilotBringing Solar Energy to Public Life
The Solar Food Market transforms open-air markets into climate-smart food hubs. Solar canopies provide shade and renewable energy for cooling, lighting, and digital payments, while powering nearby kiosks and EV charging stations. In addition to supplying stalls at the market with clean energy, the same solar nodes could facilitate the transition to e-vans for transporting food from the farm to the market and back. At the farm, the solar artefacts could supply a smart irrigation system. By connecting food and clean energy, it strengthens community resilience and supports green urban food economies.
Impact & Opportunities

Each canopy generates enough solar power, to run a cluster of stalls, fridges, and lighting.
💶 Circular Local Economies
Promotes local trade and food distribution with clean, decentralized energy generation.
🏙️ Sustainable Urban Life
Creates vibrant, low-carbon public spaces that enhance comfort, equity, and resilience in cities.
