Agri-photovoltaics – energy and yield from the same field

Agri-photovoltaics (Agri-PV) is an innovative concept that combines agricultural production and solar energy generation on the same area of land.
Thanks to specially developed mounting systems, PV modules are installed at a height of around 2 metres above the crops.

This makes it possible to simultaneously:

• protect crops from sun, hail and wind
• save water and improve soil moisture
• generate electricity and secure additional income

Agri-PV is a technology of the future that is already increasing the profitability of agricultural businesses and supporting the energy transition in rural areas.

For agriculture

✅ increased farm profitability - by up to 80%
✅ protection of crops against extreme conditions
✅ water savings of up to 20% thanks to shading and micro-retention
✅ more stable yields
✅ better land use - energy and yields from one hectare

For the environment

✅ less soil erosion and reduced evaporation
✅ enhanced micro-retention - more moisture in the soil
✅ protection of biodiversity and pollinating insects

For the economy

✅ greater energy independence
✅ lower energy costs on the farm
✅ access to subsidies and renewable energy support programs
