Agrivoltaic Farming

Enhance your solar farm by growing crops while producing solar energy. Our elevated system allows for better use of agricultural land, maximizes spacing, and facilitates the operation of machinery below. With our innovative design, you can now utilize land resources to produce more than just crops.

Agrivoltaic Farming is the use of land for both agriculture and solar photovoltaic energy generation. It’s also sometimes referred to as Agricola, dual-use solar, low low-impact solar. Solar grazing is a variation where livestock graze in and around solar panels. This system looks at agriculture and solar energy production as compliments to the other instead of as competitors. By allowing working lands to stay working, agrivoltaic systems could help farms diversify income. Other benefits include energy resilience and a reduced carbon footprint.
A symbiotic ‘cooling’ relationship occurs when growing crops (or native grasses and forbs) under solar panels. Together, each helps keep the other cool. While all crops need sunlight to grow, too much can cause some to get stressed, especially cool-season plants such as brassicas. Plants growing under the diffused shade of photovoltaic panels are buffered from the day’s most intense rays. Shade reduces air temperature and the amount of water evaporating from soils; a win-win for both plants and farm workers on hot summer days. The plants in turn give off water vapor that helps to naturally cool the photovoltaic panels from below, which can increase panel efficiency.

Features& Benefits(Agrivoltaic Farming)

1. Easy to install and maximize pre-assembly, which greatly saves labor and cost. The rails and beams are structurally identical, ensuring shorter lead times.
2.Flexibility, whether it is a residential installation of several solar panels, framed PV modules can be easily deployed.
3. High compatibility, designed as a universal racking system that can use framed modules from all major manufacturers.
4. Excellent adaptability, the angle of the rails is designed to maximize the use of solar energy according to the local latitude.
5. High standard design, all-aluminum design, excellent durability, high corrosion resistance to ensure the longest possible service life, and fully recyclable.
