Project code: G2/N/20/01
Contract period: 01.08.2020 - 28.02.2021
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: renewable ressources, energy supply, agrophotovoltaic

Agrophotovoltaic (APV) is seen as an opportunity to combine crop production with the generation of renewable electricity on one area. The expected benefits of APV, such as diversification of farmers' income and protection of crops from extreme weather events, are widely discussed. However, concrete figures are mostly lacking. This project aims to fill this knowledge gap wherever possible. In addition, the current legal situation in Germany and in countries with existing legislation to promote APVs will be examined in order to develop recommendations for the introduction of APVs in Bavaria and Germany.
