Abstract :
It is suggested that the possibility of obtaining significant profit from so-called PV farming of barren lands would be a sufficient socio-economic argument for moving towards a development model of solar electric energy production dispersed over a given territory. In addition, the requirement of reducing carbon dioxide pollution due to thermoelectric energy generation is another strong argument in favor of PV power system dissemination. The analogy with agriculture suggests PV energy production in PV farms, allowing PV farmers to live as traditional farmers do. Application on barren lands on small Italian islands is considered as an example
