The achievement of climate neutrality by 2050 will necessitate a deep transformation of our economy, society, and natural environment. In this context, managing a successful transition to a 100% renewable energy system and towards a more sustainable agri-food system will be essential
Agricultural photovoltaics (“Agri-PV”) offers an opportunity to enable the achievement of both the sustainable agriculture and clean energy transitions. Agri-PV refers to the combination of agricultural infrastructure with photovoltaic installations.
This way, solar contributes to make agriculture more sustainable, competitive, and resilient to climate change. Furthermore, it is fully beneficial to farmers, with whom the solar sector is working to improve agricultural yields while simultaneously generating clean electricity.
