The power and potential of agrivoltaics displayed through western states tour

In Part 2 of our agrivoltaics series, proponents detail the options for alternative solar.

Researchers from Sweden and Italy analyzed the economic aspects of the PV systems of a axis, vertical and elevated for agrovoltaic applications, and found that the higher agrovoltaic systems can work better the more south of Europe are installed, that is, closer to the terrestrial equator. The discounted depreciation period and the leveled cost of electricity were also calculated and compared.Researchers from Sweden and Italy modeled the profita…

Farmers embrace solar-powered agriculture – News Stand

Staff Writer  Local farmers recently participated in a workshop focused on Agri-PV technology, a project supported by the GIZ INSPIRED Agri-PV initiative at the University of Namibia’s Ogongo Campus. The goal was to explore how Agri-PV systems can help achieve sustainable vegetable and fruit production while also providing climate-adapted energy solutions in Namibia. The workshop attracted 95 participants, including representatives from the Minis

"What we lose in sunlight, we gain back in energy and cost savings"

"The aim is to integrate photovoltaic systems into greenhouses to support growers in helping them grow crops and earn additional income by generating renewable energy." This concept is explained by Dr. Ibrahim Yehia, founder of the Al-Zahrawi Society and TriSolar Ltd. Dr. Yehia, a physicist with over 30…

Agrivoltaics offer more advantages in arid regions, new research finds

New research from France has compared the performance of agrivoltaics in Spain and the Netherlands and have concluded that the former - a dry region with high solar radiation levels - offer more technical advantages over the latter, which is characterized by abundant rainfall and lower solar radiation.A group of researchers led by Sorbonne University in France has analyzed the performance of agrivoltaic systems across three different climates – …

With the resumption of the funding programme, the country intends to specifically support the market launch of innovative technologies.After the programme, agri- and photovoltaic systems receive a subsidy of up to 25 percent on the eligible investment costs.On Tuesday, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia opened its funding programme for Agri-Photovoltaics and Floating Photovoltaics again. From now on and until the end of June 2027, funding appli…
