Schletter’s new SolFarm Agri-PV system is designed to maximize both agricultural yield and energy output. The system is made up of vertical rows of modules that are mounted in landscape to look like a wall or fence. This offers two key advantages: The first is that it keeps land coverage to an absolute minimum.
The second is that the power yield is increased: a vertical system with bifacial modules in an east-west orientation generates PV power earlier in the morning and later in the evening. In addition, because PV electricity is scarcer in the morning and in the evening, the electricity generated can also be better marketed.

SolFarm allows for two modules above one another and up to three modules side by side between the support posts. The system can be installed on both flat and hilly terrain. Its modular design and adjustable clamping positions enable it to compensate for height variation in the terrain. The spacing of the rows is adjusted to the type of agriculture and is project dependent. With this new system, Schletter is expanding its product range and expertise in Agri-PV systems. Schletter’s 2P Tracking System has already been in use for several years on arable land around the world.
SunRide: parking full of energy
Schletter is once again offering a carport system with Schletter SunRide. While many carport systems on the market are anchored to the ground with two or more supports, the Schletter SunRide needs only one support. This allows for parking in a herringbone pattern, which means more vehicles can be parked in the same space as a perpendicular parking pattern.

SunRide has two carport configurations which cater to either single-row or double-row parking lots. The modular design allows for expansion at will.
Full immersion in the Schletter Metaverse
An added highlight is the launch of House of Schletter during the exhibition. Visitors can immerse themselves in a three-dimensional virtual space, showcasing the world of Schletter’s products. This metaverse allows them to experience various applications and test scenarios. In future the Schletter metaverse will also be available to customers as a digital experience independently of exhibitions - additional experience spaces will be gradually implemented over the course of the year.
