Our capacity for innovation, as demonstrated by our floating photovoltaic systems, has already made us a pioneer in the creation of dual land-use solutions.

The moderate shade provided by the panels helps prevent the evaporation of water from the soil and reduces transpiration in the plants.<br /><br /> Depending on the crops you grow, water consumption can be very high in the agricultural sector. The Agri-PV systems offer significant added value in regions of low water availability or high levels of sunlight by helping to save on water. </div></div></div></div></div></section></div></div></div></section> <section class="frame-space-before- frame-space-after- has-light-gray-bg"><div class="row column fx"><h2 class="text-title2 p-title"> Do you own a suitable piece of land? </h2></div><div class="row align-justify fx"><div class="small-12 xxlarge-3 column side-column"><h3 class="text-title3"> We Are Interested in </h3></div><div class="small-12 xxlarge-9 column"><div class="two-column-text row"><div class="small-12 medium-6 column"><p>For Interspace PV, we are looking for high soil quality green land or arable land of minimum 20 hectares with low-growing crops such as wheat or legumes.</p><p>For Overhead PV we are looking for land with 3 hectares minimum used for the cultivation of permanent cultures or special crops like fruit.

Depending on the application you use, you can feel a range of techno-ecological benefits like protection of crops from hail and excess sunlight and from excess evaporation of water from the plants and soil, reduction of soil erosion due to wind, stabilization of crop production due to micro-climates.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">What are the advantages of a partnership with BayWa r.e.?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>The BayWa Group combines agriculture and energy in a unique way. More than 30 years of experience in the field of renewable energy have given us comprehensive expertise in this sector, so we view ourselves as both forerunners and friends of the green energy revolution. Our capacity for innovation, as demonstrated by our floating photovoltaic systems, has already made us a pioneer in the creation of dual land-use solutions. Now, we’re adding to this successful track record with Agri-PV. We are a full-service provider with a solid financial foundation, and we consistently adhere to the highest standards of quality.</p><p>Our parent company, BayWa AG, generates annual turnover of approximately 17.2 billion euros and has been doing business in the agricultural sector since 1923. Furthermore, in addition to our support as an expert partner during the planning and realization of the system, we also offer to look after the entire operations and management of the system in the long term.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">Do Agri-PV systems impair the economic viability of agricultural crops?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>No, because in the framework of the strategy for the agricultural use of the land, a break-even analysis must be carried out for the crops involved. The profit margins for the agricultural products must be positive. Our top priority: Every project that we implement should provide added value for you as a farmer and generate a financial return.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">Does the way the panels are mounted make it more difficult to work the land?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>No. Panels must be installed so that land can still be used as it was previously. Overhead PV modules have to be installed at least 2.1m high, for example.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">How do you ensure the optimal availability and uniformity of light for my crops?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>The light intensity or degree of shading and the uniformity of the light, as well as peripheral effects, are examined and configured for the needs of the specific agricultural products. The transparency of the panels that we use is adapted to the particular crop involved.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">With regard to crop changes, what restrictions am I under once the Overhead PV mounting system has been established and the panels have been chosen?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>Our specially designed transparent solar panels are ideal for berries like raspberries, currants, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. The substructure can also be designed in such a way that cultivation in soil is possible, e.g. for perennial raspberries. In the case of cultivation in a substrate, the rotation of crops plays a role with regard to soil exhaustion. The same is true for perennial crops, such as espalier fruit or wine grapes, especially considering that these crops are in place for over 15 years and might then be replanted or grafted.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">Will my crops get enough water underneath an Overhead-PV system?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>The availability of water, to the extent influenced by the Agri-PV system, is adapted to the growing conditions of the crop in question. We take care to ensure a uniform distribution of rainwater for the crops beneath the Agri-PV system, and this can be optimized through extra technical equipment. Beneath an Agri-PV system there will also always be some areas that aren’t covered by solar collectors.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">Is soil erosion a problem?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>We offer technical solutions to help mitigate the effects of soil erosion and take the agricultural requirements into account. Likewise, collection basins or draining equipment can be used for rainwater. Systems for distributing rainwater can also prevent the formation of icicles in the winter. For Interspace PV, soil erosion can even be reduced due to wind protection from the ground-level module rows.</p></div></li><li class="accordion-item" data-accordion-item><a href="#" class="accordion-title">Will I lose EU agricultural subsidy when installing Agri-PV on my land?</a><div class="accordion-content" data-tab-content><p>No. Because the prime purpose of your land is still farming, you still receive EU agricultural subsidies. We are committed to ensuring that the fiscal treatment of the area would remain farmland.</p></div></li></ul></div></div></section> <section class="s-content-3-boxes frame-space-before- frame-space-after- has-light-gray-bg"><div class="boxes_wrapper normal_view"><div class="content-box-wrap"><div class="content-box baywa-Button-Container"><h4 class="content-box-headline text-title4">Solar Projects</h4><img class="thumb-image" src="/fileadmin/_processed_/f/1/csm_BarthV_Image_-1920x1080_39184ebe46.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="" /><div class="content-box-text">We know Solar.
