Agri-Voltaics: Tilling the Land and Sun

Synopsis

A number of European governments face a perennial question: how can we expand arable lands for food security and supplies, whilst also transitioning to a cleaner and greener grid. One proposed solution is the combination of solar systems on agricultural lands, which solves both problems at once.

• How can developers negotiate with landowners to ensure both food and solar security? 
• What European countries are already developing such projects? 
• How can agriPV projects attract the support of local communities through job creation in rural areas?
