“Inauguration of pilot array for agrophotovoltaics”

pv magazine / Fraunhofer ISE

A pilot pv array is meant to show that solar energy production does not necessarily need to compete with agriculture for scant land resources, reports Sandra Enkhardt in pv magazine. The solar panels are mounted on stilts seven metres above ground level to allow farming underneath in the project led by solar research institute Fraunhofer ISE, and supported by Germany’s federal ministry for research.
