Agrivoltaics – synergistic production of food and energy

Agrivoltaics enables the simultaneous use of land for both
agriculture and solar power plants. It thus offers opportunities
for food and energy production and can also make valuable
contributions to soil and plant conservation. This intelligent
dual use of land for agriculture and solar power generation has
the potential to counteract the shortage of farmland and
contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas. Farmers
are given the opportunity to develop new sources of income
without losing the productivity of their land. But what are the
current developments? And which areas are currently benefiting in
particular? We talk about this with Max Trommsdorff, Group Leader
for Agrivoltaics at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy
Systems ISE.
