Agrivoltaics—the innovative fusion of agriculture and solar energy generation—has emerged as a game-changer for modern farming. By combining the benefits of renewable solar power with crop cultivation, agrivoltaics offers farmers a unique opportunity to enhance both energy production and agricultural productivity. AESOLAR’s Terra Series, including the Terra E and Terra V modules, is at the forefront of this transformation, providing tailored solar solutions for agricultural applications worldwide.
What is Agrivoltaics?
Agrivoltaics is the practice of integrating solar energy systems into agricultural land, creating a dual-use environment that simultaneously supports energy generation and farming activities. The key advantage of agrivoltaics lies in its ability to maximize land usage while enhancing agricultural productivity. By combining crops with solar panels, farmers can harvest both solar energy and increased crop yields, offering a sustainable and profitable way to farm.
Moreover, agrivoltaics can provide environmental benefits like improving soil quality, conserving water, and reducing the risk of crop damage from extreme weather. According to a recent study, over 80% of respondents expressed support for solar development that includes agricultural production, illustrating the growing public acceptance of this innovative solution. With global agricultural land under pressure from climate change and population growth, agrivoltaics presents a powerful opportunity to enhance food security while contributing to a greener future.
Terra: Revolutionizing Agriculture with Solar Power
AESOLAR’s Terra Series modules, including Terra V and Terra E, are designed to meet the increasing demand for agrivoltaic solutions that benefit both energy production and agricultural practices. Both modules are engineered to optimize land use while delivering high energy efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance.
Terra V: Vertical Design for Maximum Efficiency
The Terra V module uses a vertical design to optimize space and land efficiency. Installed between crop rows, it reduces shading and allows crops to thrive while generating clean solar energy. This strategic placement improves the micro-climate around plants, enhancing soil moisture retention, reducing pest exposure, and promoting healthier crop growth. Thanks to its bifacial N-Type TOPCon technology, Terra V captures sunlight from both sides of the panel, maximizing energy output even under low-light conditions. Additionally, Terra V is engineered for durability, able to withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds and heavy snow. This makes it an excellent choice for large-scale farming and agrivoltaic installations where space is limited.
Terra E: Elevated Solar Integration for Crop Protection
The Terra E module is specifically designed for elevated installations, providing optimal space for crops to thrive beneath while simultaneously generating clean solar energy. Its 40% semi-transparent design allows sufficient sunlight to reach plants with photovoltaic cells efficiently converting sunlight into energy, promoting healthy growth, while offering protection against harsh weather.
Engineered for durability, Terra E is built to withstand the physical demands of agricultural environments, including resistance to wind, snow, and mechanical stress. Whether used in greenhouses, open-field farming, or other agricultural setups, Terra E enables farmers to maximize productivity without compromising crop health or solar performance. By improving the microclimate and protecting crops from extreme weather, agrivoltaic systems can increase crop yields by up to 60%, according to Solar Power Europe.
