This edition of the Special, among other topics, highlights the opportunities that farmers have to utilise land for multiple purposes. You will also find information on technology, insurance and the switch to e-mobility in agriculture.

Due to the lack of EU state aid approval, the special provisions of the solar package 1 for tenders for agri-PV systems have not yet been implemented in Germany. The data situation regarding the installed systems is also unclear.

Agrivoltaics is being promoted as the ideal way to combine solar power generation and agricultural use. Although it can hardly replace traditional solar parks, it offers interesting opportunities for niche applications, says Carsten Bovenschen, CEO of Juwi, in an interview.

A farmer in Pyhra, Lower Austria, has covered part of his berry plantation with semi-transparent modules. This has advantages and the neighbourhood also benefits.

Gridparity surveyed visitors at the Energy Decentral. The result: smaller systems for the dual utilisation of land were the main focus of interest. This is because they have advantages compared to large systems.

The information offered by the editors of photovoltaik, pv Europe and the German Agricultural Society (DLG) on agricultural PV and self-generated electricity was very well received at the trade fair in Hanover. This shows that the need for information on photovoltaics in agriculture is huge - as is the willingness to invest.

Finca La Calabaza, a leading organic farm in Fuerteventura, Spain, took a significant step toward sustainability with the installation of AIKO’s N-Type ABC solar modules. The project, titled Sustainable Organic Farm, was implemented by Canarias Autosostenible.

Four days of free consultations, four days of challenging presentations and discussions on the solarisation and electrification of farms. The PV spotlight at Energy Decentral shows the diverse opportunities of the energy transition in rural areas.

Spotlight PV: DLG and photovoltaik bring the solar industry and agriculture together! At Energy Decentral in mid-November in Hanover, farmers can obtain free advice and talk to experts about specific projects.

DLG, photovoltaik and pv Europe bring the solar industry and agriculture together: Get into direct dialogue with farmers and develop specific projects together. For the first time, Energy Decentral offers a forum for the solar offensive in agriculture.

Farmers are very interested in investing in photovoltaics. The prerequisite is often that the area can continue to be used for agriculture. Problems are still caused by legal and regulatory uncertainties.

SolarPower Europe has launched a new digital map highlighting more than 200 agrisolar projects across Europe that exceed a combined capacity of 15 GW, including both pilot and commercial projects. 

Flax, carbon, wood fibres and other renewable raw materials are the materials that make up the new mounting system for agrivoltaic systems. Identify what other advantages it has.
