Farm smarter with Agri-PV: Agriculture and solar power in symbiosis

Developing the future of sustainable farming.

Sustainable food and renewable energy, together for our planet

Using your farmland to generate solar power creates a fresh source of income and unlocks new, tech-driven synergies. With Agriphotovoltaics (Agri-PV), farming and renewable energy generation happen side by side, without one impacting the other.

Agri-PV is solving pressing land use challenges and creating new revenue streams for investors, farmers, and landowners. We’re using some of the world’s leading Agri-PV expertise to take projects from idea to turnkey construction and operations.

Making Agri-PV work for your farm

Each site is unique, and the most effective Agri-PV solutions are tailored to their surroundings. BayWa r.e. help farmers create a new revenue stream, generate their own green energy, and safeguard their farm’s biodiversity. How does Agri-PV work?

Interspace PV: For low-growing field crops

Rows of crops growing between large-spaced, ground-level rows of modules, with room for machinery to pass through. Modules can be either fixed-tilt, or placed on a tracker system that follows sunlight throughout the day.

Overhead PV: For fruit cultivation

Solar panels installed above growing crops like berries or espalier fruits, offering protection from extreme weather while generating power. Agri-PV panels are mounted high enough for farming to carry on uninterrupted. Growing wires and irrigation systems can also be integrated into the substructure.
