electrification of agriculture

Agriculture is facing enormous challenges: rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations and climate change require sustainable solutions. A key response to these challenges is the electrification of agricultural processes with renewable energies. AgriPV (agricultural photovoltaics) enables the efficient use of agricultural land for the simultaneous production of food and renewable energy.

Energy directly from the field: solar power for agricultural machinery & operations

By integrating photovoltaics into agricultural land, farmers can generate their own electricity and use it directly for their operations. This allows electrically operated machines such as tractors, irrigation systems or cold storage to be supplied efficiently. This not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels, but also significantly reduces operating costs.

Independence through storage technologies

Modern storage solutions make it possible to use solar power even when the sun is not shining. This is particularly relevant for irrigation systems or the lighting of stables. Intelligent energy management systems optimize self-consumption and minimize grid dependency.

charging structures for electrified agriculture

With the advance of electrically powered agricultural machinery, the need for high-performance charging systems is increasing. AgriPV offers an ideal basis for charging infrastructure directly on the farm or in the fields. This means that machines can be charged directly with renewable energy, avoiding long journeys to external charging points.

Dual use of land: AgriPV as a win-win solution

AgriPV enables efficient use of agricultural land by combining energy generation and crop cultivation. Specially developed PV systems with high light transmission or tracker technologies protect plants from extreme solar radiation and reduce water losses. This improves yield stability and the resilience of crops to weather extremes.

Conclusion: Electrification as a step into the future

The electrification of agriculture with AgriPV is a sustainable and economical solution to reduce energy costs, reduce emissions and increase the resilience of agriculture to climate change. GridParity AG supports farmers with innovative AgriPV systems, individual consulting concepts and the planning of future-proof energy infrastructures.
