Agri-PV renewable energy projects in Asia

Agriculture and solar power: Together for our planet

Agri-PV combines food and sustainable energy production in the same area, without harming a farm’s production. BayWa r.e. are committed to preserving our natural resources and protecting soil quality.

We’re working to make agriculture more sustainable, helping adept to the effects of climate change and reduce human impact on our environment. To achieve this, we’re currently operating pilot projects in Asia and all over the world. We collaborate with farmers, landowners, chambers of agriculture and universities to effect change.

An Agri-PV system offers several advantages for your farmland:

Protection of crops
Protecting crops from the climate
Agri-PV solar panels protect crops from extreme weather. Because the panels are transparent, there’s no interference with plant growth.
Long-term cost savings
A long-term solution that saves time and money
Agri-PV replaces short-lived protection systems. Because its lifespan is far longer, it works out far cheaper and could let farmers pay less for hail insurance.
Reduced leaf wetness periods
Better ventilation reduces the risk of plants disease
Because semi-enclosed Agri-PV systems provide good crop ventilation, they can significantly reduce the risk of disease.
Efficient water consumption
Water savings
Agri-PV systems let you optimize the amount of water crops get. Shade from the panels also lowers water loss from evaporation and plant perspiration.
Easier harvesting of crops
Easier harvesting
Protection from Agri-PV panels can help lower temperatures below, optimizing fruit crop management and facilitating harvest times.
