Agricultural solar is an innovative technology
Agricultural solar is an innovative technology in which solar panels are installed on farms to both generate clean energy and support agricultural production. By combining solar systems with agricultural land, a so-called “dual use” is made possible, in which both agricultural and solar yields are achieved.
Here are some examples of agricultural solar:
Solar parks on arable land
In this case, solar modules are installed in solar parks on agricultural land. The solar modules are mounted on frames or racks and generate electricity while the areas underneath can continue to be used for agriculture. This type of agricultural solar can help meet the energy needs of the farm and generate additional sources of income.
Agri-photovoltaics
This involves the integration of solar modules into agricultural structures such as greenhouses or stables. The solar panels are installed as either a roof or a facade, generating energy while the structures continue to be used for agricultural production. Agri-photovoltaics enables a sustainable energy supply for agricultural operations and can help reduce energy consumption for heating, ventilation or lighting.
Floating solar systems on irrigation ponds
This form of agricultural solar uses irrigation ponds or agricultural water reservoirs to install floating solar panels. The solar modules generate energy while the water is used to cool the solar modules. This solution not only provides renewable energy but also reduces water loss through evaporation.
PV carports on farms
Solar modules are installed as roofs for carports on agricultural farms. The solar panels generate electricity while the carports provide protection for the vehicles. This type of agricultural solar can meet the energy needs of the farm while providing covered parking for vehicles.
➡️ Agri-solar offers a win-win situation by promoting both agricultural production and renewable energy production. By intelligently using agricultural land or structures to install solar panels, farms can benefit from additional income and sustainable energy supply.
The development of agri-photovoltaics
The development of agri-photovoltaics has made significant progress in recent years and is seen as a promising technology for the future. Agri-photovoltaics refers to the integration of solar panels into agricultural structures, such as greenhouses, stables or farm buildings, to both generate renewable energy and support agricultural production.
The advantages of agri-photovoltaics are many. First, integrating solar panels into agricultural structures enables efficient use of limited space. Since agricultural land is often scarce, the solar modules can serve as a roof or facade without taking up additional space. This allows for “dual use” of the land, producing both agricultural and solar yields.
Secondly, agri-photovoltaics offers agricultural businesses a sustainable energy supply. The solar modules generate clean energy that can either be used directly on site or fed into the power grid. This can help meet the energy needs of the farm and reduce dependence on conventional energy sources.
Furthermore, agri-photovoltaics also offers other advantages for agricultural production itself. The solar modules serve as protection for agricultural structures and thus offer better control over the climate and lighting conditions. This can optimize crop production in greenhouses and improve animal welfare in stables.
The future of agri-photovoltaics looks promising. The increasing demand for renewable energy, the focus on sustainability and the desire for efficient use of limited space in agriculture are driving the development and implementation of agri-photovoltaics. New technologies and systems are continually being developed that are specifically tailored to the needs of agricultural businesses.
However, it is important to note that every technology has its challenges. Agri-photovoltaics requires careful planning to ensure the optimal integration of solar panels and agricultural production. The effects on the microclimate, shadowing and irrigation must be taken into account.
The development of agri-photovoltaics is on a promising path and has the potential to play an important role in future agriculture and energy production. Continued research and collaboration between the agricultural and solar energy industries will help advance this technology and maximize its efficiency and sustainability.

The combination of partially transparent solar modules and agri-photovoltaics
The combination of semi-transparent solar modules and agri-photovoltaics opens up exciting possibilities for the future of agricultural energy production and productivity. Semi-transparent solar modules are special solar modules that can both transmit sunlight and generate energy. They enable the simultaneous use of natural lighting for plant growth and solar energy production.
By integrating partially transparent solar modules into agricultural structures such as greenhouses or stables, an innovative solution is created that combines the advantages of agricultural photovoltaics with the use of daylight. The semi-transparent solar modules can be used as roof or facade cladding to provide both protection and energy production.
This combination offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows for optimized use of limited space. The semi-transparent solar modules generate energy while at the same time providing sufficient sunlight for plant growth in greenhouses. This helps increase agricultural productivity by generating additional energy yields without shading the crops.
Secondly, the combination of semi-transparent solar panels and agri-photovoltaics reduces the need for additional artificial lighting in greenhouses. The solar panels allow some of the sunlight to pass through, providing natural lighting to the plants while generating energy. This can reduce energy costs and improve the sustainability of agricultural production.
In addition, partially transparent solar modules also offer advantages for heat management in greenhouses. They can help regulate the temperature in the greenhouses by reflecting some of the solar radiation and thus reducing overheating of the plants. This can lead to improved microclimate control and promote plant growth.
The combination of partially transparent solar modules and agri-photovoltaics shows great potential for the future development of sustainable agricultural energy production. By maximizing the use of sunlight for both crop production and solar energy production, farms can reduce their energy costs and increase productivity while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It is important to note that integrating semi-transparent solar panels into agricultural structures requires careful planning to achieve the optimal balance between light transmission, energy production and plant growth. Collaboration between the solar energy and agricultural industries is crucial to develop the best solutions.
