Agriphotovoltaics: A sustainable opportunity for the energy transition in agriculture

Agriphotovoltaics: potential, projects and challenges for agriculture and the environment

What is agriphotovoltaics?

Agriphotovoltaics, also known as Agri-PV, is an innovative concept in which solar systems are operated in combination with agricultural use. Photovoltaic modules are installed over agricultural areas, creating a dual use of the area: energy production through the solar system and at the same time agricultural production underneath.

The synergy of agriculture and renewable energy production

Agri-PV systems offer a unique opportunity to address the challenges of agriculture and the energy transition at the same time. Farmers can continue to grow crops in their fields or even graze livestock while using solar energy to produce electricity. This enables sustainable and environmentally friendly land use.

Increasing agricultural yields

Studies have shown that agri-PV systems can positively influence the microclimate under the solar modules. The shade provided by the modules can help reduce evaporation and therefore reduce the water requirements of plants. Additionally, the photovoltaic panels can protect crops from extreme weather conditions such as hail or excessive sunlight, potentially increasing agricultural yields.

Contribution to the energy transition

The integration of agri-PV systems into agriculture is an important contribution to the energy transition. The additional use of agricultural land for energy production can advance the expansion of renewable energies without requiring additional space. This helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduces CO2 emissions.

Promoting regional energy supply

Agri-PV systems offer the opportunity to generate and use renewable energy locally. This strengthens the regional energy supply, as the electricity produced can be fed directly into the power grid or used locally. This can also help relieve pressure on the power grid and reduce the need for new lines and transmission capacity.

Research and development in the agri-PV sector

The development of agri-PV systems is an emerging research area. Researchers and technology companies are working to further optimize the efficiency of combining agriculture and photovoltaics. New technologies such as bifacial solar cells, which can use both direct sunlight and reflected radiation, are showing promising results and could further increase energy yield.

Examples of successful agri-PV projects

There are already several successful Agri-PV projects around the world that show how this concept can be implemented. An example is a project in Japan where solar panels were installed over rice fields. The combination of rice and electricity production led to sustainable land use and improved energy production. In Germany and other European countries, more and more agri-PV systems are being built on agricultural land in order to exploit the potential of both sectors.

Challenges and opportunities

Despite the promising benefits of Agri-PV, there are also challenges to overcome. These include, for example, the possible impairment of agricultural work processes during the construction and maintenance phase of the solar systems. In addition, legal and political frameworks must be created to enable the smooth integration of agri-PV into agriculture.

Agriphotovoltaics, the huge opportunity for agriculture

Overall, however, agriphotovoltaics offers a huge opportunity for agriculture and the energy transition. The synergy effects between renewable energy production and agricultural production can lead to a more sustainable and efficient use of resources. With the further development of technologies and the support of research and policy, Agri-PV could become a sustainable solution to the challenges of our time.
