The European Photovoltaic Industry Association presents the digital agricultural photovoltaic map

The European Photovoltaic Industry Association has released a digital map highlighting more than 200 agricultural photovoltaic projects across Europe.

The total capacity of these flagged projects, including pilot and commercial projects, exceeds 15 GW. They represent a range of technologies, including ground-mounted photovoltaics, line-to-line photovoltaics, dynamic photovoltaics, overhead photovoltaics, farm rooftop photovoltaics and solar greenhouse technologies, all tailored to suit different agricultural activities.

So far, the map features projects in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Lina Dubina, policy adviser at the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, said the map shows how agricultural photovoltaics and plantations can work together to support a wide range of crops.

Last year, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association published best practice guidelines for agricultural photovoltaics. In recent weeks, France, Catalonia and the Czech Republic have issued guidelines for the adoption of agricultural PV technology.
