Agrivoltaics (or agrophotovoltaics) is a modern technology that combines agribusiness and solar energy. Solar panels are installed above fields or orchards on specialized elevated structures. Thanks to this, the land works twice as efficiently: crops grow under the panels, while "green" electricity is produced above.
Elevated placement of panels
Elevated placement of panels
Usually at a height of 3–5 m to ensure free passage of agricultural machinery.
Optimized row spacing
Greater distance between rows of structures allows plants to receive enough sunlight for growth.
Adjustable tilt of modules
The ability to change the angle of the panels during the season to create the best lighting conditions for crops.
Special types of panels
Semi-transparent or bifacial modules that transmit more light and support uniform plant development.
Ease of installation
Foundation installation can be completed in a few days without involving heavy machinery or conducting earthworks.
conducting installation during the cold season
Unlike a strip foundation, the pouring of which in winter requires additional costs for thermal insulation, installation can be carried out in the usual mode.
