Agricultural electricity generation with agri-photovoltaics: How turnkey agri-PV solutions pay off even without subsidies

In times of rising energy prices and the energy transition, generating electricity from renewable sources is more interesting than ever for agricultural businesses. Turnkey photovoltaic systems (PV) on agricultural land are an attractive way to cover your own electricity needs locally and even feed them into the grid. In some cases, investing in a PV system can pay off without any subsidies. We have summarized for you here how this works and which factors should be taken into account when deciding for or against using solar power.

The German solar power market is characterized by a difficult economic environment. Nevertheless, there are bright spots: businesses and industrial companies are increasingly turning to photovoltaics (PV) – thanks in part to the (regrettably) continued high price of CO₂. An interesting option for investors are turnkey agri-PV solutions, in which the photovoltaic system is installed not only on the roof, but also on agricultural areas. The advantages of this solution are obvious: In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions, building a PV system on agricultural land has the small but important side effect that the vegetation under the solar module is protected and is therefore protected from extreme weather influences.

The first question that investors in agriculture usually ask is about costs. The prices for turnkey Agri-PV solutions consist of the price for the solar modules, the price for building the system and the costs for maintenance and repair. The modules themselves have become significantly cheaper in recent years, so that they now only make up a small part of the total costs.

However, the majority of the costs relate to the construction of the system as well as the maintenance and repair. These costs depend primarily on the size and location of the facility. Large systems in exposed locations are of course significantly more expensive than small systems in cheaper locations.
