Farming and energy production are now more closely linked than ever. High operating costs, volatile electricity prices and new sustainability requirements pose economic challenges for many farms. At the same time, agricultural land - be it open spaces, roofs or sheds - offers enormous untapped potential for the production of solar power.
This also applies to fallow land such as unused farmland, former industrial areas or areas in the immediate vicinity of highways and railroad lines.

Reduce operating costs through PV self-consumption: Consumption-intensive processes such as the operation of machinery, watering or cooling can be covered cost-effectively with your own PV electricity directly on site. At the same time, you become independent of price fluctuations and supply gaps on the energy market.
High energy production: PV modules can be installed on open spaces at an optimum angle of inclination according to the position of the sun, which maximizes the energy yield.
New sources of income: Additional income can be generated by feeding electricity into the public grid or leasing roof and open spaces.
Attractive subsidy programs: Many federal states offer regional subsidies or special conditions for PV on agricultural buildings and agri PV.
Versatile usable areas: The roofs of stables, machine halls and storage buildings offer ideal conditions for economical use by photovoltaic systems.
Integration with other technologies: Integrating photovoltaic systems with other modern technologies such as climate control systems in greenhouses or automated irrigation systems increases energy efficiency and further reduces operating costs.
Activation of uncultivated areas: Additional income can be generated by renting out unused areas for the installation of PV systems.
Promotion of biodiversity: Areas with photovoltaic systems are generally neither fertilized nor sprayed - this creates valuable retreats for numerous plant and animal species and promotes biodiversity in the long term.
Reduction of CO2 footprint: As a renewable energy source, photovoltaics makes a decisive contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and to sustainable agriculture.
