Agrivoltaics Lecture Series

As part of our Agrivoltaics Lecture Series national and international experts from research, economy, politics and agriculture report on various aspects of agrivoltaics. The online-event is presented by Fraunhofer ISE in cooperation with the German Association for Sustainable Agrivoltaics (Verband für nachhaltige Agri-PV, VnAP). This partnership aims to foster a stronger connection between science and practice, while raising greater awareness of the opportunities that agrivoltaics offers. In addition to discussing the latest scientific developments, we will also address the specific challenges encountered during the implementation of agrivoltaics.

Further Information about the Lecture Series

The Agrivoltaics Lecture Series takes place every Thursday from 1 to 2 pm. After the experts' lecture, you can ask questions, which will then be discussed. In addition to discussing the latest scientific developments, we also look at the specific challenges involved in implementing agrivoltaics.

Would you like to take part in the Agrivoltaics Lecture Series? Then please register with no obligation and for free to receive the dial-in details and further information about the event.

10/07/2025 - AgriVoltaics Summer School 2025

We look forward to welcoming you at the conference or during the Summer School in Freiburg. The Lecture Series will resume on July 17, 2025. We look forward to seeing you again after the break!

Insight into the Grape Agrivoltaic System: Climate Modulation and Vine Responses in a Semi-Arid Mediterranean Environment (English)

Date: 17/07/2025 - 1pm CET

Speaker: Dr. Andrea Magarelli, University of Bari

Language: English

Description: A case study in the Puglia region evaluated grapevine cv. Primitivo cultivated under rainfed conditions within a dense-grid agrivoltaic system. The altered light environment and microclimatic variability induced by the fixed photovoltaic structure mitigated physiological stress and enhanced phenotypic plasticity through morphological and functional canopy adjustments. Yield significantly increased without compromising fruit quality, highlighting the system’s potential for semi-arid Mediterranean viticulture.
