AgriVoltaics Europe’s Post

🆕 SolarPower Europe launches its Agrisolar Handbook   The Agrisolar Handbook is a key tool for supporting both the farming sector and solar developers, to address climate, energy, and food security concerns.   The paper identifies ten archetypes for supporting profitable business models of agrisolar, as well as showcasing agrisolar’s multiple benefits for the farming and energy sectors, including:   🌾 Up to 60% crop yield increase 🌡 Up to +7°C increase of soil temperatures during cold weather periods, and up to – 6 °C decrease of soil temperatures during hot periods 🐝 Up to 60% increase in pollinators observed on one project   “The future of farming is critical to the EU's food independence and resilience. Agrisolar systems boost the farm’s revenue, which can support productive and sustainable investments, and strengthens the farm’s climate resilience on its energy transition journey.” - Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO SolarPower Europe   The report will be presented to industry experts and policymakers today at #AgriVoltaicsIFE in Madrid.   Read the press release 👉 https://lnkd.in/e4sFDDd7 Intersolar Conexio-PSE Metabolic

…you are a Farmer and/or a Land owner and you want to learn more about the Business Case you can have with participating in an Agri-PV Project? This handbook will provide you with helpful Information! Great Job SPE, Copa Cogeca, Metabolic, and all the contributions from the SPE Land Use and Permitting workstream:-) #agripv #agrivoltaics #agriculture

✨ Very proud to have worked with Lina D. on our Agrisolar Handbook launched today in Madrid. It started almost a year ago, during an afternoon of workshop at SolarPower Europe offices, with representatives from COPA COGECA, CEJA Young Farmers and European Agroforestry Federation (EURAF), later joined by European Landowners' Organization and FARM EUROPE. This will give you an idea of what are agrisolar technologies, because there are as many agrisolar projects are there are agricultural activities, what is the business models, and what do we know so far about their environmental and agronomic impacts. This wouldn't have been possible without the precious and constant advice of Eva Vandest, Stephan Schindele, Emilien Simonot and Antoine Mugnier. 💡 The Handbook is there to provide the right information to farmers about what solutions are there and what are the business models existing. 📃 But it has also been built to help political thinking on how we accompany and incentivise such technologies, especially as we are getting ready to revise the Common Agricultural Policy next year. ⏩ This is only the first step. If you want to be part of the next steps in the conversation join SolarPower Europe, and get in touch with Lina D.!

Impacting communities using innovative agricultural tools is not only rewarding but also sustainable!

🌱🔆 Agrovoltaics: Combining Agriculture and Solar Power 🌞🌾 #Agrovoltaics is the practice of using the same land for both #solar power generation and #agriculture. This approach optimizes land use and promotes sustainability. By integrating solar panels with agricultural crops, agrovoltaics increases land efficiency, enhances crop yield through partial shading, provides economic benefits by generating additional income for farmers, and reduces #environmental impact by lowering the #carbonfootprint and supporting biodiversity. Research led by institutions such as Fraunhofer IIS and the University of Hohenheim, along with implementation by companies like Amplus Solar and SunSource Energy in India, is driving this innovative technology forward. #Agrovoltaics addresses the growing demand for food and energy, presenting a #sustainable solution for the future. #Agrovoltaics #RenewableEnergy #SustainableAgriculture #SolarPower #GreenTech #Innovation #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #FutureOfFarming #EnergyEfficiency #EcoFriendly #GreenSolutions #SmartFarming #Biodiversity #EnvironmentalImpact #WaterConservation #CarbonFootprint #AgricultureTechnology #TechInnovation #SustainableFarming #AgriTech #SolarPV #ClimateChange #GreenEnergy #EnvironmentalSustainability #SolarProjects #EnergyAccess #SustainableDevelopment
