Why Agrivoltaics is the Perfect Fit for Germany's Energy Heartland
Niedersachsen's unique agricultural profile and its pioneering role in renewable energy make it the perfect place for agrivoltaics to thrive. This technology offers effective, synergistic solutions to the region's most pressing challenges and opportunities.
Powering a Major Industrial & Automotive Hub:
Niedersachsen is home to a world-class automotive industry and other energy-intensive sectors that form the backbone of the German economy. These companies have a massive and growing demand for reliable, green electricity to decarbonize their production and maintain their competitive edge. Agrivoltaics provides a crucial source of daytime solar power, generated locally, to help power this industrial engine.
The Perfect Complement to Wind Power: As Germany's undisputed wind energy leader, Niedersachsen benefits enormously from balancing its renewable energy portfolio. Agrivoltaics is the ideal partner to wind, generating power during sunny periods when wind can be lower. This powerful synergy creates a more stable, reliable, and valuable 24/7 renewable energy supply, making the grid more resilient for everyone.
Enhancing Climate Resilience for Large-Scale Agriculture The challenges of climate change are felt across Niedersachsen's vast farmlands. Agri-PV systems provide a direct solution, helping to protect large fields of crops from drought stress by reducing water evaporation. For livestock, the panels offer vital shade during heatwaves, directly improving the resilience and productivity of the state's primary agricultural sector.
Unlocking the Potential of Vast Farmland:With its extensive farmlands, Niedersachsen is uniquely suited for large-scale agrivoltaic projects that respect its agricultural identity. We can develop significant clean energy capacity while keeping the land in active agricultural production, a true win-win for the state's energy and food security goals.
VIRDI understands the specific agricultural and political frameworks in Niedersachsen to unlock the full potential of Agri-PV for your farm.
An Agri-PV system from VIRDI is a holistic, turnkey solution that puts your agricultural operation first and is fully tailored to your farm's needs. We manage every step of the process, ensuring a seamless and professional partnership.
Our process begins with a deep dive into your specific farming operation in Niedersachsen. We analyze your crop rotations, soil types, and machinery logistics to design a custom Agri-PV system that enhances your farm, whether it's ensuring clearance for large-scale harvesting equipment or optimizing shade patterns for livestock.
Our team of experts manages the entire administrative process, adhering to all relevant standards (e.g., DIN SPEC 91434) and navigating the specific requirements of authorities in Niedersachsen. At the same time, we secure the project's complete financing, meaning there is no capital investment required from you.
We oversee the system's installation with the utmost respect for your operational schedule and soil health. We work with trusted regional partners to guarantee that all construction is of the highest quality and that necessary clearances for your agricultural machinery are perfectly maintained.
After commissioning, our commitment continues. We handle the complete technical operation and maintenance of the solar installation. We also monitor and document the positive synergies between the panels and your farm's output to ensure a successful dual harvest and maximize your returns for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on projects where the economics are viable for all partners. Typically, we evaluate sites in Niedersachsen starting from approximately 5 hectares, but we are happy to assess other significant plots on a case-by-case basis.
It creates a stable, long-term revenue stream for the municipal budget (via commercial taxes), involves local companies during the construction phase, and secures the viability of local agriculture, particularly strengthening the rural economy.
Our projects are backed by long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or government-guaranteed tariffs (EEG), ensuring a stable cash flow. The dual revenue potential from energy and protected agriculture can further diversify risk, making it a valuable, bankable asset.
Yes, that is the core purpose of agrivoltaics. Niedersachsen has significant areas of "less-favored" agricultural land that are ideal for such dual-use concepts. We work closely with authorities to manage the entire approval process, ensuring the project qualifies for dual-use while preserving the land's primary agricultural function.
VIRDI is contractually obligated to completely decommission the system. All components will be professionally removed, and the land will be restored to its original state. Financial provisions for this are set aside from the very beginning of the project.
