Fraunhofer Experiments In Chile And Vietnam Prove Value Of Agrophotovoltaic Farming
“Last November, CleanTechnica brought readers news of an experiment by Fraunhofer Institute For Solar Energy Systems that https://cleantechnica.com/2017/11/24/combining-solar-panels-agriculture-makes-land-productive/. Fraunhofer calls its unique installation, which mounts the solar panels high enough to allow farm equipment and animals to move freely underneath, agrophotovoltaics or APV. The results from the first experimental program near Lake Constance in southwestern Germany found combining agriculture and farming increased the output of the land by 60% over what it would be if the same land was devoted 100% to farming or 100% to solar panels…”
