The dual use of agricultural land brings significant benefits for farm businesses, most importantly by offering a stable second source of income. Solar installations also protect crops without causing major yield losses. In some cases, agri-PV has become essential for sustaining the cultivation of certain crops as climate change accelerates.
Agri-PV insights from on the ground
This special feature on solar technology for farmers examines the yield insights gained by agri-PV system operators. It also offers guidance on planning a photovoltaic system for your land and highlights service providers who can support you.
Generating solar power from barn and stable rooftops offers farmers multiple ways to reduce energy costs. It is important to keep several key factors in mind, especially the specifications and performance requirements for power electronics.
Farm solar begins with standards
Meeting current agri-PV standards is crucial for any new system. This feature spotlights innovative technologies set to appear at the Energy Decentral trade fair, where decentralised energy solutions for agriculture will take centre stage from 10 to 13 November 2026 in Hanover.
The “Solar Technology for Farmers” special feature is available as a free download after a short registration at pveurope.eu/special-pv-farmers-2025.
