Agri-PV systems are particularly efficient when they are able to track the sun's position. Until now, tracking systems have generally been able to tilt on one axis. Fischer & Consorten, together with Anywhere Solar, will be presenting a system that can track on two axes at Intersolar.
Sandro Esposito, Managing Director of developer CCE Italia, comments on the strict restrictions announced by the Italian government for solar parks on agricultural land.
Under the motto “Recharge your knowledge”, the accompanying program of Intersolar Europe provides trade visitors the opportunity to update and refresh their knowledge. Intersolar Europe will take place from June 19–21, 2024 as part of The smarter E Europe.
The Italian government has presented new regulations for solar parks on agricultural land. In future, only ground-mounted PV systems that can still be used for agricultural purposes shall be permitted.
The owners of the newly founded Erneuerbare Energie Prignitz want to build a total of 140 megawatts of solar power capacity. The local population is to benefit from solar power generation.
SolarEdge has entered into a collaboration with Scania Regional Council in the south of Sweden to explore the potential of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV), the combined production of solar energy and agricultural crops on the same land.
The 1-billion-dollar Oak Run Solar Project, approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board last week, will sit on over 6,000 acres in Madison County, west of Columbus, Ohio in the United States.
Several tall rows of modules are installed on a field on the farm in Deutenkofen. The aim is to test the influence of the modules on the growth of apple and pear trees.
Eurener, a Spanish solar module manufacturer, presents its latest offering: An agri-PV module with 335 watts of power output. Specifically designed for agricultural installations, including large utility projects, carports and greenhouses, these panels have a lot to offer:
In future, agricultural land should be used more than once: In addition to harvesting fruit and vegetables, solar power will also be available in future. Two Swiss universities now want to promote this and have founded the Agrisolar Forum.
Array Technologies has recently introduced new enhancements to the Array STI H250 solar tracker. One upgrade is the new driveline motion transmission system, providing a more precise and efficient tracking experience with enhanced flexibility.
The University of Helsinki, Turku University of Applied Sciences and the project developer Energiequelle are jointly launching a research project to investigate the combination of solar energy and agriculture under Nordic conditions.
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.
Next2Sun and the American solar company Isun are building the Agri-PV plant on an area in Vermont. Construction is due to start in 2024. Vegetables will be grown between the rows of modules.
The Swiss energy supplier Axpo is building two more solar parks in Italy. The Italian market is important for the company on its way to expanding its solar capacity to ten gigawatts in Europe.
Photovoltaic systems on arable and agricultural land are becoming increasingly popular. Noam Shvartz, agri-PV expert at Solaredge, explains an important consideration for farmers who decide to switch to agri-PV.
