The unique synergy of both sectors is groundbreaking for a successful realization of the energy transition. In an innovative way, agricultural land use and the use of photovoltaics are rethought on a large scale. An Agri-PV system helps the local agriculture and promotes the acceptance of people towards the use of solar systems as a sustainable energy source.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"27723\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\" image_hover=\"\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1578936275311{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Adapted solar modules and substructure\" font_container=\"tag:h4|text_align:left\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=\"4\" equal_height=\"yes\" background_type=\"\" el_class=\"m-l-r-0\"][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1580714890948{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"4\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1521532709816{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Translucent solar modules<\/h3>\n

The solar modules used have completely transparent cell gaps. With standard 7% light transmission, it is sufficiently bright under an Agri-PV system to be able to read a newspaper. These moderate light conditions are ideal for the growth of many plants. The light transmittance is individually adaptable to plant cultures with special requirements.<\/p>\n

Protection of the crop from extreme weather conditions<\/h3>\n

Climate changes bring more extreme weather events. PV roofing protects your crops from hail, heavy rain, storms and heat waves.<\/p>\n

Individual module transparency creates ideal conditions for the plant growth of your specialty crop. Crops that do not tolerate direct sunlight benefit from this in particular.

Easier maintenance<\/h3>\n

The need in agriculture to protect crops from the elements is increasing with climate change. Conventional crop protection systems usually have to be completely replaced every five to seven years. This is associated with high effort and costs.<\/p>\n

Storms cause a time-consuming and costly repair effort when they damage or tear down foils or nets. An Agri-PV system is more stable and easier to maintain. It is much more durable than traditional hail or rain protection systems. In addition, with Agri-PV there are advantages in insurance costs against hail.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=\"4\" equal_height=\"yes\" background_type=\"\" el_class=\"m-l-r-0\"][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1580714890948{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"4\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1521532709816{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Improved aeration and less pesticides<\/h3>\n

Pilot plants with raspberry and strawberry orchards show that the Agri-PV system makes it possible to reduce the use of crop protection products. Because the canopy is partially enclosed, there is a shorter leaf wet phase and better aeration of the crop rows. Less pesticides also means more biodiversity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"28174\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\" image_hover=\"\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=\"4\" equal_height=\"yes\" background_type=\"\" el_class=\"m-l-r-0\"][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1580714890948{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"4\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1521532709816{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"28186\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\" image_hover=\"\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Optimized irrigation<\/h3>\n

The semi-shaded light conditions reduce water evaporation on the ground and the sweating out of the plants. In regions with water scarcity or particularly high solar radiation, an Agri-PV system helps to save water. In the agricultural sector, this means strong added value for crops with high water consumption.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=\"4\" equal_height=\"yes\" background_type=\"\" el_class=\"m-l-r-0\"][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1580714890948{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"4\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1521532709816{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

More pleasant harvest<\/h3>\n

The improved conditions under an Agri-PV system make your work more pleasant during harvest. The temperature is moderate due to the shading and better ventilation.<\/p>\n

The growing period of regional products can be extended - so you can offer products on the market longer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"28367\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\" image_hover=\"\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=\"4\" equal_height=\"yes\" background_type=\"\" el_class=\"m-l-r-0\"][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1580714890948{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"4\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1521532709816{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Do you own your own agricultural land?<\/h3>\n

Orchards and vineyards of about three hectares or more are particularly suitable. The existing canopy is replaced by an individual, innovative Agri-PV system. You make a sustainable investment and benefit from low maintenance and operating costs. As the owner of an Agri-PV system, you create an additional source of income by marketing green electricity. Or you save energy costs by using the generated electricity yourself.<\/p>\n
