What is agrivoltaics?

Agrivoltaics or Agri-PV is an agricultural management system that supports agriculture as its main use and at the same time generates electricity from solar energy. The focus remains on the production of food and animal feed. Agrivoltaic plays a central role not only in the areas of nutrition and energy supply.

What are Agri-PV systems?

Our systems allow the combined use of land for agricultural production and the added benefit of generating solar power. Agri-PV systems enable farmers to simultaneously use land to generate energy and produce crops. ZIMMERMANN’s innovative and sustainable Agri-PV systems are specially designed to allow farmers to use land for crops and PV.

What is Agri-PV?

Agri-PV refers to solar power solutions for farms that help protect fields, herds, and fish farms from extreme weather conditions like drought, hail, frost, rain, or sun. With Agri-PV, we assist farmers in finding self-supporting solutions to make their farms more sustainable.

What are agrivoltaic installations?

Agrivoltaic installations optimize the use of land, granting it a dual purpose in farming and power generation. By using a renewable and eco-friendly energy source, it's possible to reduce the emission of polluting gases derived from the primary sector.

How do agrivoltaic panels work?

In agrivoltaic structures, panels are installed on structures or cables several meters above the ground to allow access for agricultural machinery. The system can also modify the orientation of the panels to maximize their efficiency based on a mathematical model that receives data from the sensors installed on the property.

Where is Agri-PV installed?

The Netherland has been our first active market for Agri-PV. Check out or comprehensive reference list of Agri-PV installations here. Check out or first Interspace PV project in Spain, which includes a corporate PPA with offtaker VELUX.
