Agri-PV is evolving from pilot applications to large-scale infrastructure, requiring fully integrated system design and efficient implementation. This session explores how regulatory frameworks, data-driven optimization, and advanced technologies are shaping the next generation of Agri-PV systems. Topics include module-level performance insights for informed design decisions, flexible inverter architectures tailored to agricultural requirements, and automation solutions that enable faster, more reliable, and cost-efficient construction. A large-scale European case study illustrates how these elements come together in practice, demonstrating how integrated Agri-PV systems can be deployed without compromising agricultural productivity. The session highlights how innovation across system design, technology, and construction is enabling scalable and economically viable Agri-PV solutions.
