The use of agricultural land for additional electricity generation with photovoltaics is attracting growing interest. Our special edition shows how farmers can enhance land use with solar energy. It is available to download for free.
A study by the University of Hohenheim has shown that agriculture benefits from shading the soil with solar systems, especially in dry regions. This is because less water evaporates, which the plants need.
Gridparity has developed a solar system specifically for viticulture. The company is thus expanding its product range for the energy transition in agriculture.
Researchers not only want to further develop printable solar cells technologically. Rather, they want to provide solutions with them in order to implement different application variants.
In a study, researchers from the IÖW and the HSK in Kehl examined agriphotovoltaics economically, ecologically and legally. There are still hurdles. But above all, the technology offers plenty of opportunities for farmers.
The Agriphotovoltaic plant will produce electricity for about 19,000 households, while agricultural use of the land remains possible. It is Commerzbank's entry into the segment.
The project developer from Erkner near Berlin has built two new agriphotovoltaic plants near Jülich. They not only supply electricity, but also data for various research objectives.
Together with the German Agricultural Society (DLG) and our German sister publication photovoltaik, we are publishing two special issues on agriculture and photovoltaics. See here for more details:
From 15 to 17 June 2022, Conexio is organising a conference around the topic of agriphotovoltaics. Currently, potential speakers can submit their proposals for a presentation.
Despite the transfer of Energy Decentral and Euro Tier to the internet, the organisers look back on a successful fair. The virtual exhibition stands will remain online until 15 April.
We at Next2Sun GmbH have been proving the practicality of our Agro-PV system for quite some time. Recently, our second Agri-PV solar park in Donaueschingen officially went into operation.
Energy Decentral awards prizes to outstanding innovations for the self-supply of farms with self-generated green electricity. The application period runs until September 30, 2020.
