The conference explored collaborative models between agriculture and renewable energy industries, and gave access to cutting-edge research and practical insights from active installations.
Meeting with other industry professionals across Europe and exchanging insights and learnings with agrivoltaics, Bob heard from industry experts with fascinating case studies on AgriPV installations across Europe and beyond. One thing stood out during the event: merging solar power with agriculture works.
From vineyards, berry farms, and orchards to grazing systems and crop cultivation, the benefits are tangible and growing.
