Agrivoltaics combines solar energy and agriculture to reduce up to 700 tons of CO₂ per MW, improve water use, and boost crop growth for sustainable farming.
Agrivoltaics generates income for farmers through solar energy, while also enhancing crop yields and land use efficiency. European policies support this model with subsidies, net metering, and flexible electricity sales, making agrivoltaics a sustainable income source and a new driver of agricultural development.
