Bring NbS into your AgriPV strategy to create nature-positive and productive outcomes.

Agrivoltaics Training

A two-day course designed to introduce project developers, investors, sponsors, lenders, and advisory firms to key concepts in agrivoltaics. Arrangements can be made for participants to visit real case study sites.

Visits to BriteSolar available.

Agrivoltaics in Greenhouses

Identify all critical challenges in advance to ensure that solar PV projects can successfully meet agricultural, ecological, and social requirements.

Greenhouses remain the most efficient form of food production today, and integrating agrivoltaics helps them reduce operational costs related to electricity, heating, and cooling.

A 1,000 sqm high-tech greenhouse can match the productivity of 5,000 sqm of open-field cultivation. Combining agrivoltaics with hydroponics further lowers production costs and improves working conditions

Nature Based Solutions

NbS can help mitigate climate risk impacts on green infrastructure — for example, by reducing desert encroachment around solar power plants or preventing flooding that affects overhead transmission towers — just as demonstrated in initiatives like Desert to Power, while also delivering community benefits grounded in principles of social justice.

Landscape Mitigation

‘ sometimes projects may not achieve works licensing due to architectural barriers ‘

Reduce the permanent negative impacts of the renewable energy infrastructure footprint and improve the visual aesthetics of the surrounding landscape — a service available for projects both under development and in operation.

Case Studies

AgriPV in Strawberry fields

I am a strawberry farmer and I’d like to understand the benefits of using agrivoltaics for my crops. Which type of system should I choose? What growing advantages can shading offer for my strawberries? Should I install opaque PV panels or opt for semi-transparent ones? What is the expected return on investment if I switch to a glass greenhouse? Or would it be better to keep my current plastic greenhouse

Shade Screens or AgriPV for my Lettuces

I have been growing lettuces my whole life in a plastic greenhouse. Glass greenhouses are too expensive and not suitable for my location. They also require extra cooling and heating. How can I use solar energy to reduce the operating costs of my plastic greenhouse? And what impact would partial shading have on my crops?
