Agri-PV:
The future of agriculture
Agri-PV
Agriculture faces the challenge of feeding the world's growing population while at the same time becoming more sustainable. Agri-PV is a promising solution that harmonises both goals. It promises efficient land utilisation, climate-friendly energy production and sustainable and resource-conserving agriculture.
What is Agri-PV?
Agri-PV combines the advantages of solar power generation and agriculture on a common area. Instead of using agricultural land exclusively for food cultivation, we integrate solar systems into the structure. This innovative combination enables sustainable and efficient utilisation of land resources. The arrangement of the solar panels is adapted to the topographical conditions and the type of agricultural activities. With vertically mounted PV modules, farming takes place between the rows of modules, while with vertically mounted PV modules, the area below the modules is cultivated.
The advantages of Agri-PV
Efficient land utilisation: Agri-PV enables the optimal use of agricultural land. Farmers now have the opportunity to utilise their fields not only for growing food, but also for sustainable energy production. This dual utilisation significantly increases the efficiency and profitability of the land, as leasing the land provides a secure source of income for many years to come.
Climate-friendly energy production: The solar modules on agricultural land generate clean energy and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Agri-PV is therefore an important step towards climate-friendly energy production that helps to combat climate change.
Sustainable agriculture: The synergy between agriculture and renewable energy plays a crucial role in sustainability in agriculture. Agri-PV enables self-utilisation of generated electricity for e-tractors, sprinklers, cold stores, harvesters and more, which not only leads to cost savings but also reduces the environmental footprint. By minimising the use of non-renewable resources, this innovative practice promotes environmentally friendly farming.
Conserves resources: The temporary shading provided by vertically mounted PV modules protects the plants from strong solar radiation and evaporation (area-related evapotranspiration). This also reduces the amount of water required for plant cultivation. This is particularly advantageous in regions with water shortages and supports resource-saving agriculture. Elevated PV modules also offer protection against heavy rain, hail and frost, as the ground heat remains under the system.
If you own an area of
more than 2 hectares...
why not lease it out for the construction of solar parks?
