The innovative Agri-PV from AgroSolar Europe intelligently combines agriculture with renewable power generation. For this purpose, solar modules for electricity generation are erected above and between agricultural areas in such a way that they can continue to be farmed profitably.
A real win-win situation that benefits not only the climate and security of supply, but also farmers: This is because the “double harvest” enables income diversification and thus contributes to the sustainable strengthening of farms and rural areas.
Each crop has its own requirements for the soil and microclimate. This is why AgroSolar Europe has developed different types of agrivoltaic systems that can be optimally adapted to the respective conditions. Among other things, the size of the area, the plant species cultivated and the geological conditions are taken into account.
Agrivoltaics or Agri-PV is an agricultural management system that supports agriculture as its main use and at the same time generates electricity from solar energy. The focus remains on the production of food and animal feed.
Agrivoltaic plays a central role not only in the areas of nutrition and energy supply. Rather, it is a holistic system with different players: farmers, municipalities, public utilities, research institutions, environmental organisations and many more.

The weather extremes and their consequences are already being felt in many places. They make it more difficult to grow food, while at the same time the demand for food and renewable energy, such as solar power, is increasing.
The problem is that large areas are needed for both agriculture and conventional photovoltaic systems. As a result, agriculture and solar energy have so far often been in competition with each other.
The solution: agrivoltaics cancel out this increasing competition. It therefore makes an important contribution to greater climate protection and food security. At the same time, Agri-PV strengthens farmers by providing them with an additional source of income through the generation of green electricity.
Agri-PV eliminates the increasing competition for land between the agricultural and energy sectors. It therefore makes an important contribution to greater climate protection and food security. At the same time, Agri-PV strengthens farmers by providing them with an additional source of income through the generation of green electricity.
