Supporting the deployment of AGRIvoltaics to accelerate the sustainable market uptake of SOLar energy in agriculture

Objective

Supporting the deployment of AGRIvoltaics to accelerate the sustainable market uptake of SOLar energy in agriculture within a 36-month project that engages experienced partners across five EU states (Greece, Italy, Spain, Demark and Poland). The project aims to support at least 30 PV market actors, farmers, farmers associations, agribusinesses, etc. in EU countries to overcome existing barriers and viably take up APV systems in their lands. We start by analysing framework conditions and APV value chains and we are also engaging local stakeholders in co-designing our approach and support actions. Then, we provide a series of demand-driven business, financial and technical support services along with dedicated capactiy building programs. In parallel we develop an Engagement Platform hosting tools that facilitate collaboration and knowlede exhange among industry actors and provide credible estimations about; APV potential, prospect profits with benefits and APV policy making level across various EU countries and critical factors. Also, we improve the societal acceptance of APV amongst farmers and citizens by 25% (or above) through well-tailored awareness-raising campaigns and social impact methodologies. At the same time, we trigger the development of an enabling environment for the market uptake of APV by formulating relevant policy recommendations at both national and EU level and widely disseminating them to more than 100 policymakers. Finally, an ESG monitoring and evaluation framework evaluates the performance and impact of all the above, ensuring the long term sustainability of our solutions and providing us with the intel required to catalyse mutual learning and contribute to creating a guide for replicating our results. Therefore, we expect a power output of 50 MWel by our supported cases / projects, leading to an increased share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption in the target countries and ultimately, saving more than 0.5 million tn of GHG.
