Fraunhofer ISE Estimates Germany’s Agrivoltaic Potential at 500 GW

Summary by World News
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) says Germany could deploy up to 500 GW of agrivoltaic capacity, based on a nationwide assessment of all agricultural land types and site suitability criteria. From pv magazine Germany Germany could install up to 500 GW of agrivoltaic capacity on the most suitable agricultural land, far exceeding its PV expansion target for 2040, according to a new study by Fraunhofer ISE. The researchers consid…

Enormous potential: Solar plants in fields or orchards could provide more renewable energy in Germany than is commonly assumed. The optimal areas in Germany alone offer space for Agri-Photovoltaics with 500 gigawatts of power, all suitable areas together could supply up to 7,900 gigawatts, as researchers have determined. This combination of solar power and agriculture could well exceed Germany's official photovoltaic expansion targets. In German…

Studies by Fraunhofer ISE show that agri-photovoltaics could generate large amounts of solar power on agricultural land in Germany. The potential even exceeds the photovoltaic expansion targets up to 2040. For the first time, all types of agricultural land were analysed and suitable locations were identified. The article Unused Land Wonders: With Agri-PV the expansion targets exceeded appeared first on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenport…

In several studies, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has identified the potential for land use for agri-photovoltaics – the combination of

For the first time, the researchers from Freiburg have looked at all types of agricultural land for their analysis. With a variety of different criteria, they finally identified the optimal locations for agri-photovoltaics plants. This alone is enough for a photovoltaic installation of 500 gigawatts, but the technical potential for agri-photovoltaics in Germany is much higher. Agri-photovoltaics plants with a total output of 500 gigawatts could …
