Monitoring - Tamara Bretzel

Monitoring Team

Monitoring in agrivoltaics is the cornerstone for achieving maximum performance from agrivoltaic systems. The efficiency of the two sub-aspects - agriculture and photovoltaic (PV) - is assessed to ensure they are optimally combined and function effectively. This is achieved through the use of cutting-edge sensor technology, as well as standardized measurement techniques and placement within the agrivoltaic systems.

Furthermore, to the synergy effects of agrivoltaics, additional monitoring also offers specific advantages for the dual land use of agrivoltaics:

Our services:

• Consultation on monitoring systems at PV and crop level
• Development of a monitoring concept and a site plan for integrating a measurement system into the agrivoltaic system
• Recommendation of wireless sensor technologies based on market analyses
• Implementation of camera systems for crop detection
• Processing and analysis of monitoring data (upon request)

We measure a variety of parameters including:
