Rising energy prices and the pull of self-consumption are driving stronger demand from farmers for photovoltaic systems. New approaches to using on-site solar power make fresh installations attractive and open up ways to extend the life of older systems no longer covered by subsidies. Our current special on solar for farms explains how these models work.

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