Agrivoltaic Solutions in Brandenburg
Practical Solutions for Productive Agriculture
VIRIDI designs and delivers agrivoltaic (Agri-PV) systems specifically tailored to the needs of agricultural operations in Brandenburg. The objective is to combine productive farming with renewable energy generation in a way that avoids land-use conflict and requires no investment from the landowner.
Improves climate resilience, preserves daily operations and ensures stable additional income.
Our Agri-PV systems help mitigate weather risks such as drought, heavy rainfall, and heatwaves by shielding crops from extreme conditions and improving microclimate stability.
Farming activities continue as usual. Each system is integrated into existing processes and adapted to your farm’s specific crop types and workflows.
With long-term, fixed lease payments, farms gain an additional, predictable income stream—independent of agricultural market fluctuations.
Agri-PV helps municipalities use land efficiently while supporting local agriculture
Dual-use systems generate clean electricity without removing land from food production. Productive use of arable land remains intact.
Agri-PV strengthens the long-term viability of local farms and contributes to decentralized energy supply in the region.
Projects are eligible under current state and federal programs and comply with EEG 2023 requirements. They also contribute to local climate goals.
Why Agri-PV Is a Key Technology for Brandenburg
The agricultural sector in Brandenburg is under increasing pressure from climate change, volatile markets, and competition for land. Agri-PV provides a tangible, on-farm solution to these challenges.
1. Mitigating climate impacts:
Frequent extreme weather events are affecting both yields and soil quality. Agri-PV systems create protective microclimates—providing shade, hail protection, and reducing evaporation. Long-term studies show measurable benefits for crop health and soil stability.
2. Reducing land-use conflictAgri-PV enables simultaneous food and energy production on the same area. Instead of choosing between farming and photovoltaics, both can coexist—without soil loss or displacement of agriculture.
3. Increasing economic stability
Through long-term lease contracts and grid feed-in tariffs, farms establish a second, independent income stream. This improves liquidity and reduces reliance on unstable commodity markets.
4. Leveraging policy frameworks
The updated Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and DIN SPEC 91434 create a clear legal foundation for Agri-PV. VIRIDI manages the entire project process—from site assessment and permitting to grid connection.
Field-Tested Knowledge from Research and Practice
VIRIDI is one of the early developers of Agri-PV in Germany. Our reference project at Lake Constance, developed in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), has become a benchmark in modern fruit-growing under solar modules.The insights gained from this project directly inform every new system we design—including those in Brandenburg.
Agri-PV Is Not a Concept – It’s a Proven Tool for Future Farming
For farms in Brandenburg, Agri-PV offers a tested, economically sound solution to today’s climate and market challenges. It allows farmers to secure income, maintain production, and improve resilience without sacrificing land use.
VIRIDI brings over 18 years of development experience and acts as your full project partner—from concept to operation.
