BayWa r.e. has secured €6.5 million from the EU’s LIFE Programme for six innovative projects across five countries by 2027, integrating agriculture and solar power generation. These pioneering initiatives aim to advance the commercial viability of Agri-PV and demonstrate its effectiveness as a climate-adaptation strategy for fruit and crop cultivation in Europe.
Three projects in France, Spain, and the Netherlands under EU LIFE ADAPT-PV will enhance fruitvoltaic projects’ resilience to climate change while generating green solar energy. Meanwhile, projects in Germany, Spain, and Italy as part of EU LIFE LEAD-PV will explore scaling up Agri-PV with arable crops, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions in land use. These projects will offer valuable insights, with the German project being the first to research Agri-PV and traditional crops at such a large scale.
