- IMIDRA, Nomad Solar Energy and Full&Fast drive agricultural innovation with portable solar power at La Chimenea Farm
- The project aims to drive the energy transition in rural environments.
Madrid, X August 2025 — As part of a strategic partnership between the Madrid Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Rural Development (IMIDRA) and the technology company Nomad Solar Energy SL, the company Full&Fast has unveiled an innovative installation of portable solar generators with an autonomous storage system at the “La Chimenea” experimental farm in Aranjuez. This initiative, in place since April 2025 and expected to run until the end of the year, is a milestone in the energy transition of the agricultural sector.
The installation, which is innovative, entirely temporary, autonomous and non-invasive, seeks to solve a specific need: ensuring the energy supply for irrigation and other agricultural demands, without resorting to permanent infrastructure or connections to the conventional electricity grid. It is a “removable” energy solution that can be easily moved and adapted to different rural contexts.
Nomad Solar Energy and Full&Fast have established a strategic collaboration to implement a microgrid system that combines comprehensive generation and storage of renewable energy. Nomad Solar Energy is responsible for producing electricity through photovoltaic modules, while Full&Fast contributes its storage technology, tasked with storing and distributing energy efficiently. This solution, designed to operate in island mode, ensures complete independence from the grid, optimising energy performance and providing a sustainable supply model.
“This project is a clear example of how renewable technology can be integrated into real agricultural environments in a respectful, useful and cost-effective way. We are grateful to IMIDRA for their trust in demonstrating the potential of portable solar power applied to the field,” says Borja Santos Bergasa, co-founder and CEO of Full&Fast.
La Chimenea Estate, owned by IMIDRA, is a benchmark site for agricultural experimentation in the Community of Madrid. There, projects are developed relating to new farming techniques, soil management, efficient irrigation and agricultural sustainability. The possibility of having an autonomous, renewable energy source reinforces IMIDRA’s commitment to applied research and sustainability.
“We are very proud to be partnering with an institution like IMIDRA in an environment as relevant as La Chimenea Estate. It is an opportunity to validate our solutions in real-world conditions, with a direct impact on the sustainability of the agricultural sector,” adds Borja.
“At Nomad Solar Energy, we are delighted to have developed this project in close collaboration with Full&Fast. Our photovoltaic technology, integrated with their advanced storage system, has allowed us to implement a microgrid that can operate in completely isolated mode. This solution not only ensures independence from the conventional electricity grid, but also reinforces our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability. It is a clear example of how cooperation between specialised companies can give rise to innovative, high-impact energy models,” says Albert Barberà Catalan, project manager at Nomad Solar Energy.
The project is expected to generate effective cooperation between the public sector and technology companies, driving the energy transition in rural environments through the efficient use and saving of energy resources. In addition, it seeks to develop a replicable model for other farms or experimental estates, with significant progress towards energy self-sufficiency adapted to the characteristics of each type of crop. This project is not only an example of applied technology transfer, but also a firm commitment to making agriculture more efficient, clean and resilient.
