Agricultural photovoltaics
By combining agricultural land and photovoltaics, it is possible to farm and generate solar energy at the same time. Valuable synergies are created that bring a multitude of benefits.
Thanks to agricultural photovoltaics, agriculture is becoming even more sustainable. The solar modules produce electricity through solar energy without the need for additional land. The electricity generated is not only used for agricultural machinery, but also on the farm or can be sold on the wholesale market.
Future concept
Advantages of agricultural photovoltaics
Protection of the crop from extreme weather conditions: hail, strong sunlight, heavy rain, or frost
Higher yield of the crop due to the protection from insects
Lower consumption of water and pesticides due to the canopy
Substructure of the solar modules replaces necessary climbing frame
No additional areas needed for solar modules
Simultaneous production of regional electricity and food. Flower strips provide biodiversity
Solutions
Possible systems
Depending on the crop or the plants grown, different systems are available:
Here, a high stand system is used for permanent crops, such as fruit, berries or wine.
Advantages:
- Balanced light ratio due to semi-transparent agricultural PV modules.
- Higher growth quality due to partial shading
- Balanced crop climate
- Protection against extreme weather phenomena (hail, storm, heavy rain, etc.)
East-West Tracker
A single-support system is arranged in parallel at farmable distances from north to south. The PV tracker follows the position of the sun from east to west.
Advantages:
- Maximum land yield for farming due to the ability to angle the modules 80 ° via remote control/app.
- Minimal loss of land: 80% agricultural use, 15% flower strips, 5% photovoltaics
- Increased biodiversity through flowering strips under the modules
- Classic agriculture is possible without increased effort by the farmer
South oriented system
A single-support system is arranged in parallel at farmable distances from east to west. In this case, a fixed south oriented rigid system is present.
Advantages:
- Increased biodiversity through flowering strips under the modules
- Classic agriculture is possible without increased effort by the farmer
