Agri PV: How to Utilize the Vast Potential for Solar Power in Agriculture

Tuesday, June 13, 2023, 04:30 pm - 06:00 pm

ICM München Room 14 C

Agri PV has become a buzzword in the solar industry because it can bring together the needs of power plant developers and the food industry. Indeed, co-locating solar energy generation with agricultural operations can optimize space utilization and create multiple revenue streams, which would be a win-win situation. But how complimentary is this approach in reality? And how quickly is Agri PV evolving as the global solar industry is set to require additional space for several hundreds of gigawatts of utility-scale solar power every year?This session will discuss: Deployment of Agri-PV- Product innovations Policies and cost considerations for agricultural projects Panel: What's needed to turn food famers into solar farmers?
