Solar electricity from field and barn: Our special for the dual harvest on farms

Many farmers are considering setting up their own photovoltaic system - either as an energy supplier for their own farm or as a second source of income. In both cases, the aim is to set up their own farm for the future.

But what do farmers need to consider - in terms of technology and operation of the generator as well as insurance - if they want to invest in a photovoltaic system? How can they obtain solar power produced on site without having to make their own investment? Which buildings are suitable for a solar system and are there options for building one even if the roof only has small load reserves? What opportunities are there to use your own solar power for mobility? What new possibilities are there for extended storage operation? What support do farmers receive for planning the system?

You can find answers to these and other questions in this edition of the Agriculture Special, which the editors of pv Europe have produced in cooperation with the German Agricultural Society (DLG).
