Agrivoltaics: Opportunities for Agriculture and Energy Transition

Agrivoltaics refers to a process for the simultaneous use of land for agricultural crop production and PV electricity production.

Agrivoltaics technology offers a way to expand large-scale photovoltaic systems on open spaces while keeping agricultural land usable as a resource for food production. This is necessary because while fertile farmland must be preserved for agriculture, solar energy is expected to become the main pillar of energy supply in the long term.
