While the opposition to agrivoltaism (the installation of photovoltaic shades on crops) remains strong in Catalan countries, Sun'Agri, in particular at the origin of the controversial Terrats project, plays the role of...
Pilot project explores agrivoltaic potential
A pilot agrivoltaic system has been set up in an apple orchard northeast of Ljubljana to serve as a blueprint to develop the dual use of land for solar energy and agriculture in Slovenia. Located in the orchard run by the National Agriculture Institute in Brdo pri Lukovici, the new solar plant was presented to the public on 9 July with government officials underscoring the importance of synergy between food production and clean energy generation…
Stakeholders led by Minister of Environment, Climate and Energy Bojan Kumro and Minister of Agriculture Mateja Čalušić today presented a pilot project to introduce agrophotovoltaics in an experimental orchard in Brdo pri Lukovici. The project will set guidelines for the development of the field in Slovenia, participants at the event emphasized.
The port of Avilés has presented the pilot project 'Hy4RES' (Hybrid Solutions for Renewable Energy Systems), a portable device that combines solar, wind and hydrokinetic resources, and that aims to contribute to the reduction of emissions. It is a European research project in which the University of Oviedo participates co-financed by the ERDF funds through the Interreg Atlantic Area program. The project 'HY4RES' involves nine partners from four …

pv magazine IndiaWhat standards for agrivoltaics?
The technology which combines solar PV panels and agriculture is gaining ground. IEC Standards for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems already exist, but more might be required, dealing with some of the more specific issues relating to agriculture.Agrivoltaics is a growing sector, led by China, and it is one way that high levels of sustainable energy can be generated without taking valuable land for food production away. Agrivoltaics works best eith…
