Photovoltaic modules for greenhouses

Agri-photovoltaics: Efficient 2-in-1 land use

Agri-photovoltaics, often abbreviated as Agri-PV, is an innovative process that uses agricultural land for two applications:

  • Food production
  • Photovoltaic power generation

This method has the advantages of

  • significantly increase space efficiency
  • and drive forward the expansion of renewable energies.

Agri-PV modules from DAS Energy

The semi-transparent agrivoltaic modules from DAS Energy are ideal for greenhouse applications where too much sunlight can lead to overheating. Advantages of the greenhouse PV module:

  • Sufficient diffuse light so that plants can grow optimally in greenhouses
  • Protection against overheating in summer
  • Power generation for all electrical systems such as ventilation, irrigation and lighting

Agri-photovoltaics - special PV modules from DAS Energy 

are specially designed for applications where sunlight is a key factor indoors. Greenhouses are the best example of this: the plants cultivated in them need both the heat generated by the greenhouse effect and sunlight in order to grow. In southern regions in particular, however, it can quickly become too hot in a greenhouse in summer.

DAS Energy offers the perfect combination for this problem - a semi-transparent greenhouse PV module that provides shade on the one hand and produces electricity on the other.

Semi-transparent ultra-light PV modules from DAS Energy provide enough diffuse light for plants in greenhouses to grow, protect the plants from too much heat in summer, and at the same time produce electricity for all electronic systems such as ventilation, irrigation and lighting.

Our anti-reflective, dirt-repellent and glare-free surface ensures maximum electricity yield from our PV modules. By constantly improving the properties of our surface structure, we make the best possible use of light capture. The PV modules are ideal for installation on roofs and façades where reflection is a disadvantage, for example around airports or large cities.

Advantages of agrivoltaics

  • Land efficiency: Agri-PV maximizes the use of agricultural land, which is particularly important in regions with limited land resources.
  • Sustainability: The simultaneous production of electricity and food promotes sustainable agriculture and helps to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
  • Yield increase: The shade provided by the solar modules can optimize the microclimate for plants, which can lead to higher yields.
  • Climate protection: Agri-PV contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and supports the achievement of climate targets.
  • Additional source of income: Farmers can tap into an additional source of income by generating electricity. Alternatively, the electricity generated can also be used directly, for example for an irrigation system.

Agri-photovoltaics is a forward-looking solution that meets the requirements of agriculture and energy production. By integrating solar energy into agricultural processes, energy efficiency can be increased.
