  • The output and lease payment per hectare for our agrivoltaic systems are just as high as for traditional ground-mounted PV projects.
  • We offer legal certainty with regard to agricultural inheritance tax.
  • Our systems are recognised in the EU CAP, which ensures qualified entitlement to area premium payments.
  • In our own company, we have been successfully farming cattle with suckler cows and dairy cattle for 3 years.
  • Thanks to the light permeability and rainwater distribution, we promote plant growth for pasture fodder, special crops, catch crops, etc. Our systems can be driven under with small tractors and equipment with a working width of 3 metres.
  • SUNfarming is a leading technology developer in the field of practical agri-PV.
  • As a leaseholder, investor, operator and permanent contact for landlords and municipalities, we are a reliable partner.

What are the possibilities and advantages of Agri-PV?

Agri-PV stands for "agricultural photovoltaics" or "agrivoltaics", and it refers to the integration of photovoltaic technologies (solar cells) into agricultural land.

This innovative approach aims to utilise land for both food production and renewable energy generation by installing solar panels over agricultural crops.We are talking about a sustainable dual utilisation of land.

Agri-photovoltaic systems are elevated systems where solar panels are installed above the fields on raised structures to allow the crops below to receive sufficient sunlight.

The solar modules are designed in such a way that they also serve as protection for the plants. The modules provide shade and protect the plants and animals from extreme weather conditions.

Agri-PV systems integrate the solar panels into the structure of agricultural greenhouses, allowing both resources to be utilised efficiently.

The advantages of Agri-PV are manifold:

  • Land use efficiency: By combining agriculture and photovoltaics in the same area, the availability of land is optimised.
  • Resource conservation: The use of renewable energy in agriculture helps to reduce the environmental impact.
  • Income diversification: Farmers can generate additional income by selling the solar energy they produce.
  • Reduction of water evaporation: The shadows of the solar modules can help to reduce the evaporation of water in agricultural areas.


Agri-PV is an innovative approach that utilises the synergies between agriculture and renewable energy production to create more sustainable and efficient systems.

The overall realisation time of an agri-photovoltaic system can be influenced by various factors.Here are some key factors that can affect the timeline:

  • Conducting an environmental assessment.
  • Obtaining data from the Federal Network Agency.
  • Participation in tenders.
  • Financing commitment from the bank.
  • Securing the cable routes.
  • Commissioning in cooperation with the grid operator.
