For many years now, we have been working on linking renewable energy and agricultural production. Both should be integrated into our everyday life in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
AgroSolar Top is our largest Agri-Photovoltaic system and is designed for intensive, mechanized agriculture.
For intensive, mechanized agriculture Variable system sizes between 6 meters high and 18 meters wide Suitable for shade tolerant plantsThe AgroSolar Top improves soil quality and reduces the need for additional irrigation. At the same time, the system protects plants from damage caused by weather extremes such as hail, storms and drought. In addition, further protective devices for your plants, such as foils or nets, can be attached to the substructure of the photovoltaic system.
The AgroSolar Secure system is particularly suitable for special crops from fruit, wine and vegetable cultivation
Protection against heavy rain, hail or too intense sunlight Variable system sizes and spans Reduction of pesticides through better insect protection Reduce frost protection measures due to altered microclimateThe AgroSolar Secure system can be mounted on existing hail protection systems and the frost protection or hail protection nets can be integrated. The semi-transparent modules regulate the homogeneous incidence of light, promote the microclimate and protect the fruit from weather extremes such as frost, drought and hail. Rainwater can be collected and used for additional irrigation
AgroSolar Windbreaker consists of several units,
each with two bifacial photovoltaic modules installed vertically and in rows.
Management of areas at risk of erosion Variable, modular system sizes with small space requirements Cultivation of plants with special requirementsThe vertically oriented photovoltaic modules break the wind and therefore act like an erosion control strip. This type of system is therefore ideally suited for erosion-prone farmland. Narrow flower strips remain under the windbreaker, providing a valuable habitat for many creatures.
With optimum harvest and energy yield, soil-friendly installation and efficient management: all system types are characterized by innovative technical features that make them a profitable investment.
Each Agri-Photovoltaic system is individually and flexibly adaptable. Among other things, to the size of the area, the types of crops grown and the geological conditions
Partial roofing by the solar modules provides protection from excessive heat and solar radiation as well as from hail, frost and drought damage
Agricultural machines of different sizes can be used as usual under the Agri photovoltaic systems
The need for irrigation of agricultural land is reduced by up to 20 percent, the water storage capacity of the soil is increased
Carbon decomposition: With Agri-PV, humus can be built up in a controlled manner, which means that less fertilizer is used and more CO2 can be stored in the soil
Systems from AgroSolar Europe eliminate land competition between food and energy harvesting and even enable a significant increase in land efficiency. Currently up to 86%.
In addition to investing in its own plant, AgroSolar Europe also offers a lease model so that the farm has no costs for construction and electricity marketing
The future trading of CO2 certificates will open up another source of income for farms
