Agri-PV

This year once again, SUNfarming’s Agri-PV solutions attracted strong interest. Farmers and project developers were particularly interested in how agricultural land can be used simultaneously for high-value crop production and renewable energy generation. These discussions confirmed that Agri-PV is increasingly being recognized as an essential component of sustainable and economically viable agriculture.

As part of the Cube Green Energy Group, SUNfarming contributes more than 15 years of experience in Agri-PV to the development of integrated energy solutions that combine renewable energy generation with sustainable land use.

Another key topic throughout the exhibition was the integration of different renewable energy technologies. Agri-PV is increasingly being incorporated into holistic energy concepts alongside battery storage, wind power, biogas, and, looking ahead, electrolyzers for decentralized green hydrogen production.

At the same time, agricultural robotics is opening up new opportunities to make farming more efficient, precise, and resource-conscious.

A sincere thank you to everyone who visited our booth. We truly appreciated your interest, insightful questions, and inspiring conversations. We would also like to thank our dedicated team, whose commitment and teamwork made our presence at Intersolar Europe such a success.

We look forward to continuing these conversations, reconnecting soon, and working together to shape the future of renewable energy.

The advantages of dual land use — generating clean energy while maintaining agricultural production on the same land — resonated particularly well with farmers. “With us, farmers remain farmers on their own land,” said Stephan Franke, Head of SUNfarming Project Development North.

Political dialogue on Agri-PV for peatlands
A special highlight was the visit of Agriculture Minister Werner Schwarz, who was welcomed by SUNfarming founder Peter Schrum. The conversations focused on simplifying and enabling approvals for Agri-Solar on peatlands.

Peter Schrum, Founder of SUNfarming, emphasized: “Currently, many peatlands in Schleswig-Holstein that are mown several times a year are not eligible for Agri-Solar. This makes little sense from either a nature conservation or climate protection perspective. Instead of using valuable arable land, we should make peatlands sustainably usable through Agri-PV combined with extensive cattle grazing beneath the modules.”
This position reflects long-standing requests from farmers and highlights a practical path to combine nature conservation with the energy transition.

Conclusion
Norla 2025 underlined that Agri-Solar is a forward-looking concept for agriculture and the energy transition — delivering clear benefits for farmers, policymakers and society alike.
