SUNfarming moorland photovoltaics

Peatland PV for peatland used as pastureland

The shading causes stronger vegetation for various crops, the drying out of the soil and the emission of greenhouse gases is reduced.

Promotion of vegetation through shading:

• Shading from the PV modules leads to stronger vegetation, which is beneficial for pastureland. This can help to improve the quality of the grass and thus support animal nutrition.

Soil conservation and greenhouse gas reduction:

• PV modules protect the soil from drying out and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly important for peatlands as they are prone to degradation.

Animal welfare systems and year-round grazing:

• The Agri-PV canopy provides protection from the elements, which improves animal welfare and enables the possibility of year-round grazing.

Passage with municipal agricultural machinery:

• The design and construction of Agri-PV systems must be designed to allow easy passage of communal agricultural machinery. This facilitates agricultural activities on the land.

Added value for biodiversity:

• The integration of greenery and ecological elements under the PV modules can promote biodiversity. This can be done, for example, by selecting plant species that provide habitat and food for local animal species.

Rainwater management with a special substructure:

• The special substructure of Agri-PV systems can be used for efficient rainwater management. This helps to prevent erosion, favour water storage and increase the photosynthetic performance of the plants.
