agrivoltaics

As 2023 comes to an end, PV Tech examines the rising interest in agrivoltaics, the practice of pairing solar PV deployments and farming.

Neoen has been awarded four solar projects with a total capacity of 104.4MWp from the French government’s Energy Regulation Commission (CRE).

The European Commission has granted €65 million to 17 renewable technology projects, including a solar agrivoltaics project in France.

Disruptions to Europe’s climate could pose challenges for solar developers on the continent and provide opportunities for new ways of working.

Cero Generation's Pontinia project has ten-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Heineken and Philips.

The European Commission has approved a €1.7 billion (US$1.8 billion) scheme to support the deployment of 1.04GW of agrivoltaics projects in Italy.

Thin-film manufacturer Ascent Solar has received positive feedback from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for its agrivoltaics technology, and the company will now apply for funding for the development of a proposed agrivoltaics system.

The statement comes off the back of a report from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) analysing the potential and challenges for AgriPV in the European market.

PV Tech spoke with Trina Solar's Walt Ma about the company’s facility in Brazil and the importance of a localised manufacturing strategy.

PV Data looks at the Italian market in 2023 and how it is expected to reach 4GW of installed solar capacity, as well as agriPV's interest.
