Solar energy for agriculture: dual use special

Many farmers are now considering installing their own photovoltaic systems, either to supply energy for their farms or as a second source of income. In both cases, the goal is to future-proof their operations.

But what should farmers keep in mind when investing in solar? From technology and system operation to insurance, there are important factors to consider. How can solar power be used on site without making a personal investment? Which buildings are suitable for PV systems, and are there options even if the roof has limited load capacity? What are the opportunities for using solar power for mobility, and what new possibilities exist for extended storage operation? What support is available for planning a system?

This edition of the Agriculture Special, produced by the editors of pv Europe in cooperation with the German Agricultural Society (DLG), provides answers to these and many other questions.
