Rising energy prices and the potential for self-consumption are driving increased demand from farmers for photovoltaic systems. New approaches to using on-site solar power not only make new installations attractive, but also create opportunities to extend the life of older systems no longer supported by subsidies. Our current special on solar power for farms explains how these models work.

The special also presents solutions for the dual use of arable land and, crucially, the yields these systems can deliver. It’s not just about established technologies. Dual use of cropland and grassland is increasingly feasible with new system designs. Proven technologies also hold untapped potential to open up additional areas for PV deployment. Find out how it works and what options are available in our special Solar Power for Farmers. (su/mfo)
