As solar deployment accelerates, competition for land is intensifying. Agrivoltaics — co-locating crops or grazing with elevated solar arrays — offers a way to produce clean energy without taking land out of agricultural use.

The dual-use advantage

Our recently completed Verdana Agrivoltaic Farm in Thessaly demonstrates the model in practice. Raised, wide-spaced structures let machinery work beneath the panels, while module spacing is tuned to balance energy yield with the light crops need.

The benefits compound:

  • Farmers keep their land productive and add a new income stream
  • Panels can reduce water evaporation and shelter crops from heat stress
  • Communities see renewable expansion that respects rural landscapes

Designing for both

Agrivoltaics is not simply a solar plant on a field — it demands careful agronomic and engineering design. Our teams work with landowners and agronomists from the outset to optimise for both harvests.

We believe land-friendly solar will be a defining trend of the decade, and we are investing to lead it.
