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.

Agrivoltaics Potential in Andalusia - Project GO Olive Agrovoltaics

Date: 11/12/2025

Speaker: Prof. Paul Pistor, University Sevilla

Language: English

This talk explores the strong potential of agrivoltaics in Andalusia, a region where intense sunlight and agricultural pressures coexist. The speaker will outline the current challenges faced by Andalusian agriculture—especially water scarcity, intense illumination and heat stress—and present results from the ongoing project GO Agrovoltaica, which explores how shading olive trees with photovoltaic installations can reduce thermal stress and improve plant growth. Together, these findings highlight agrivoltaics as a promising dual-use strategy for resilient agriculture and sustainable energy production in the region.

Agrivoltaics at Galp: From Concept to Field

Date: 15/01/2026

Speaker: Thayná Camões, galp

Agrivoltea: a collaborative platform to promote Agrivoltaics

Date: 22/01/2026

Speaker: Prof. Luis Manuel Fernández de Ahumada, University Córdoba

Language: English

AGRIVOLTEA was created as an open, collaborative online platform that aims to revitalise the Spanish agrivoltaic sector by acting as a link between the different agents involved and interested in the field of agrivoltaics (associations, research centres, companies, etc.) in order to respond to the challenges of this emerging technology and promote the implementation of this new production model in Spain by joining forces and common interests.
