Things are turning doubly green at RWE’s agrivoltaics plant (Agri-PV) in the Rhenish mining area. Since the beginning of the year, around 6,100 solar modules have been generating green electricity, and now farmers have sown the first seeds and planted crops on the site.On the approximately seven-hectare recultivation area on the edge of the Garzweiler opencast mine, RWE is using three different ...
In a pioneering initiative, Iowa State University (ISU) is embarking on a research project to explore the combination of crops and solar power. The Alliant Solar Farm at Iowa State University is a groundbreaking agrivoltaics research project merging solar power generation and agriculture to study how best to optimize land use while providing local community benefits. A new 1.75-megawatt ...
An innovative agrivoltaic solar module driven by Sonceboz technology adopted from its automotive products has recently been launched in Switzerland. The pilot project, run by Insolight, aims to replace the plastic tunnels used in agriculture with high efficiency solar modules which generate electricity while protecting the plants. Accurately driven by Sonceboz Smart BLDC actuators, these modules ...
