The solar array on farmer Stefan Jatzkowsky’s field in Bad Sassendorf in the west of Germany should be ready by spring. However, the construction of the tracker system with an installed capacity of 933 kilowatts is not done overnight. That is why the craftsmen from Gridparity wanted to start building the agri-PV system in the summer 2024.

Construction in a bird sanctuary

However, due to the protracted approval process for the elevated installation in a bird sanctuary, the start of construction was postponed until November 2024. The challenge was that the weather conditions became more difficult at this point. Heavy rain, snowfall, ice and strong winds made the work a real obstacle course. However, despite these unfavourable conditions, Gridparity managed to construct the plant on time by mid-January 2025.

Agri-PV: How to succeed on the path to regenerative and sustainable agriculture

Agriculture still possible

The system consists of trackers elevated at a height of 2.2 metres. The individual rows of trackers are each seven metres apart. This will allow agricultural use to continue almost without restriction. The farmer is only unable to cultivate one strip between the posts of the mounting system. However, this serves to improve biodiversity. This is because insects can colonise the area. It also provides shelter for birds.

High yield from the tracker

By using the tracker, the farmer can increase the system’s yield to a whopping 1,248,000 kilowatt hours, which also benefits the sustainability of neighbouring farms. At the same time, farmer Stefan Jatzkowsky can show how small tracker systems close to the farm can be harmonised with different agricultural crops. The semi-transparent double-glazed modules used also ensure an improved microclimate under the solar installation.

Scientific support

Among other things, the scientific monitoring of the project by Haus Düsse, which is located in the immediate vicinity in Bad Sassendorf, focuses on how this microclimate affects the growth of the plants. This is the experimental and training centre for agriculture in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Bad Sassendorf. The researchers also want to find out which plants grow well under the modules. Various organic grain varieties, such as original spelt, are to be cultivated for this purpose. Haus Düsse already operates a small pilot plant with an output of around 17 kilowatts at the site, which is used for demonstration and research purposes. (su)

Daimler Truck’s new logistics location in the heart of Germany, Global Parts Center (GPC), will gradually take over the global spare parts supply for Mercedes-Benz trucks from 2025. In the approximately ten months since the foundation stone was laid, the development on the approximately 900,000 square-meter site in the East Industrial Park has grown at a rapid pace.

The new building will have a gross built-up area of around 270,000 square meters and in a three-stage logistics process will serve around 20 regional centers worldwide, including in other EU countries, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil and China. These local centers will supply regional dealers with spare parts.

Project well on schedule

With this new site, GPC is at the heart of a complex network of global goods logistics. “Thanks to the excellent cooperation with the city, district and state, our Global Parts Center has already taken impressive shape less than a year after the foundation stone was laid,” says Stefan Roedler, who heads the real estate subsidiary Daimler Truck Real Estate. “We are well on schedule.”

The new logistics location is planning CO2-neutral operation, with an energy concept that completely dispenses with fossil fuels. The roofs of logistics buildings, encompassing over 90 percent of all roof space on the location, are currently being equipped with solar modules, creating one of the largest rooftop systems in Europe.

Large-scale project in Spain with particularly high yield forecast 

Easily visible from the main road

Anyone driving past the Global Parts Center on the nearby motorway will see two large, parallel halls, each around 200 meters wide and 600 meters long. In the future, one hall will be used for receiving goods and the other for issuing spare parts. Smaller buildings will be for empties, recycling and offices.

Not visible from the motorway is the around 30,000 square meters – around twelve percent of the total 250,000 square meters of roof area – are already covered with solar modules. The roofs of outbuildings with no modules will be greened.

22 megawatts on the rooftops

The photovoltaic system will have an output of over 22 megawatts and is anticipated to generate more than 20 gigawatt hours per year – significantly more than is consumed at the location. Excess energy from the Global Parts Center will be fed into the grid. In order to keep the level of self-sufficiency as high as possible, additional powerful energy storage devices are provided. In the first stage, an energy storage system of around 2,000 kilowatt hours is planned, which will be expanded later.

Neither natural gas nor petroleum are required. The buildings are heated using electric heat pumps, which bring their heat inside via floor heating systems. A high level of energy efficiency is achieved thanks to the low temperatures in the heating flow and the high thermal storage effect of the industrial floors.

Powerful charging points for e-trucks planned

Around 30 charging points for electric vehicles are provided to make it easier for employees to access electromobility. The infrastructure is already set for further expansion. There are also corresponding charging options for suppliers’ trucks, whose fleets will gradually be electrified: 16 charging points with 200 kilowatts and four charging points with 400 kilowatts of charging power are planned.

Imposing buildings almost completed

The data on solar self-sufficiency is likewise impressive. The construction project is an indication of Daimler Truck’s big plans for the Halberstadt site. The central buildings for logistics are supported by around 1,600 reinforced concrete supports. With around 90,000 square meters (over twelve football fields), around a third of the hall floor has already been concreted.

Over half of the hall facade is completed and currently spans 30,000 installed square meters – equivalent to around four football fields. Almost three kilometers of fire protection walls have been built inside, with another 500 meters to be added in the future.

Stockholm’s first mobile fast charger for electric boats installed 

3,000 piles drilled

The figures for the roof construction are also impressive, with over 31 kilometers of steel roof racks already installed. At around 200,000 square meters, the trapezoidal sheets laid on the roofs to date have a total area of almost 30 football fields. In the coming months, the building will expand to accommodate a high bay, which required the subsoil to be prepared with almost 3,000 drilled piles. (HS)

The Austrian developer and operator of green energy plants Püspök, based in Nickelsdorf in Burgenland, has launched a photovoltaic offensive. This includes a solar park, which the company has now put into operation in Nickelsdorf. The 13-hectare agri-PV plant not only combines agriculture with solar power production. The plant is also combined with the existing Heidäcker Mönchhof wind farm.

Storage unit to follow next year

Püspök has thus built its first hybrid power plant, combining wind power and photovoltaics. The advantage: wind power and photovoltaics complement perfectly each other in the generating structure. They can feed into the grid via one grid connection point and thus better utilise the grid capacities. To perfect this further, Püspök will be adding an electricity storage system to the hybrid power plant in the coming year. The permit for the large battery storage unit has already been granted.

Sheep graze the area

The recently installed 23,000 solar modules have a total output of 14 megawatts. The agricultural utilisation is based on grazing the area with sheep. ‘The combination of wind power, photovoltaics and battery storage technologies makes the Nickelsdorf project a pioneering energy transition project in Austria,’ emphasises Managing Director Lukas Püspök. ‘The simultaneous use of the land for organic farming shows that renewable energy, nature conservation and agriculture harmonise.’

Energy Decentral: Agri-PV has great growth potential

Next plant is already under construction

The new agri-PV park is the kick-off for the photovoltaic offensive that Püspök is launching. It provides for the construction of further solar parks. The company plans to install an additional 400 megawatts of solar power capacity by 2026, as Lukas Püspök explains. The next plant is already under construction. The Nickelsdorf II solar park is currently being built on an area of 53 hectares and will reach 68 megawatts upon completion. Commissioning of this plant is planned for this year.

At the beginning of January, the two US companies Deriva Energy and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced the start of commercial operation of the Spanish Peaks Solar project, which has a module output of 180 megawatts (DC) in Las Animas County, Colorado. The power generated by the facility will be sold to the utility-owned Tri-State cooperative under two long-term power purchase agreements. Spanish Peaks Solar is expected to produce over 370 million kilowatt-hours annually.

“This project will provide the community with affordable and reliable solar power while contributing to the transition to renewable energy. We are grateful for the support of all who have helped make this possible and look forward to continuing to provide Colorado with renewable energy,” said John Clapp, CEO of Deriva Energy.

Solar farm generates tax revenue

“Tri-State members will benefit from low-cost power from Spanish Peaks Solar while helping put us on track to achieve 50% renewable energy use by the end of 2025,” said Duane Highley, CEO of Tri-State. ”Deriva Energy and Juwi have been great partners in supporting our mission of delivering reliable, affordable, and responsible power to our members.”

Juwi was responsible for the development and engineering, procurement, and construction of the Spanish Peaks Solar Project, with the Boulder, Colorado-based JSI Construction Group serving as the primary general contractor. The projects began construction in late 2023 and created more than 230 jobs on site at peak periods. The solar photovoltaic modules used in the projects were procured by Deriva Energy. Deriva Energy will share operations and maintenance responsibilities with Juwi, as the plants will employ nine full-time staff. In total, Juwi has now realized 25 projects in the USA with a total capacity of almost 700 megawatts (DC) since 2009, and a further 300 megawatts (DC) are currently under construction.

Low-cost financing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture

“We are pleased with the timely completion of Spanish Peaks Solar. This achievement underscores our commitment to implementing cost-effective, high-quality solar projects. The timely completion of the project is a result of close collaboration with Deriva Energy, Tri-State, SIEA, and the local community and government in Las Animas County. The dedication and hard work of the Juwi team, coupled with our reliable subcontractors, were essential to the success of the project,” said Michael Martin, CEO of Juwi Inc.

The Spanish Peaks Solar projects are supported in part by low-cost financing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Empowering Rural America (New ERA) program. This program empowers Tri-State members and rural communities in four states to provide reliable, affordable energy to meet growing demand. (hcn)

In a 100-year-old farmhouse in the district of Nienburg/Weser in the German state of Lower Saxony, a farmer has made himself largely independent of the electricity grid with photovoltaics and a solar-electric water heating system. This is because he uses the surplus from the photovoltaic installation on the roof to feed it into a hot water tank.

Wood chips heat the rooms

The actual heat supply for the house has been provided by a wood chip heating system for seven years. This is designed to operate in the winter months, when it provides enough energy to heat the spacious rooms of the 340 square metre farmhouse and also supplies hot water.

Special for free download: Solar power for farmers and by farmers

But for the warmer months, when the room heating is switched off, this system is far too big. To solve this problem, the farmer first installed a photovoltaic system with an output of 9.7 kilowatts. This system primarily covered the electricity consumption in the building.

Surpluses despite storage

By expanding the photovoltaic output to 14.2 kilowatts, a huge surplus of solar electricity remains after all the electrical consumers in the house have been supplied. Even with a ten-kilowatt battery storage system, the farmer is not able to consume all of the sun’s energy on site. To avoid having to feed it into the grid, he uses it to heat water.

Heating rod covers hot water consumption

An AC Elwa-E heating rod with a power consumption of three kilowatts was installed in the hot water tank in the basement of the house. This device provides the entire hot water supply for the building from the beginning of May to the end of October, when the room heating is switched off. It uses only surplus solar power from the roof.

Support in winter

Between November and April, the wood chip heating system runs anyway to provide the room heating. During this time, the AC Elwa-E supports the hot water heating as best it can with the reduced supply of solar power. „If surplus electricity is also available in the less sunny months, this is used to support the heating system,“ explains farmer Erich Hormann. „The wood chip heating system is switched on to provide hot water when the desired temperature has not been reached by the photovoltaic power and the intelligent heating element from My PV after 4 pm. The AC Elwa-E works perfectly, regardless of whether it’s summer or winter,“ reports the farmer.

A package for an almost fully solar-powered house

65 per cent of hot water supplied by solar electricity

In the first year of operation, he was able to provide 40 cubic metres of the approximately 60 cubic metres of hot water used in the building from solar power and heating rod. This amounts to 65 per cent of the hot water requirement covered by the AC Elwa-E. As the heating rod is only used as a backup in winter, the farmer was also able to avoid having to use grid electricity to heat the water. (su)

This is the next step in the country’s ambitious plans to scale up the share of renewables in its energy mix. EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) support for the design and implementation of the scheme is funded by Spain and the European Union Technical Support Instrument, managed by DG REFORM.

“Romania’s ambition to develop its renewable energy sector is fully aligned with the EBRD’s strategy in the country. We are looking forward to support further the Ministry of Energy and contribute to scaling-up private sector investments in the sector,” said EBRD Head of Romania Victoria Zinchuk.

First wave of 5 GW projects

The two-way CfD scheme incentivises investments in renewable energy by providing revenue stability to developers and strengthening the market integration of renewables.
The financing of the CfD mechanism is ensured by funds secured from the European Union Modernisation Fund. This covers a first wave of projects for a total of 5 GW, split into this year’s 1.5 GW auction and a second one for 3.5 GW in 2025.

The CfD mechanism brings Romania closer to its ambitious long-term decarbonisation targets. Investment in renewable energy is critical for reaching the climate commitments outlined in the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan, under which a target of 34 per cent of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption by 2030 is set up. Romania’s new draft energy strategy aims for 44 per cent of gross final energy consumption from low-carbon sources by 2035.

Strong support from EBRD for cleaner energy

The EBRD, a leader in climate finance, has supported the implementation of renewable energy auctions across its countries of operations.

The EBRD’s strategic priority on the energy sector is to helps its countries scale up renewable energy through financing instruments and technical assistance to develop supportive policy frameworks that, together with well-designed competitive auctions, are conducive to private sector investment.

In Romania, the Bank is fully supporting the country’s move towards cleaner energy. Since the beginning of this year, the EBRD has financed nearly 1GW of renewable capacity across six projects. These investments, amounting to over €180 million from EBRD funds, have further mobilised almost €1 billion of private and public finance. 
Overall, the EBRD has invested more than €11.3 billion in 549 projects in Romania to date. (hcn)

SolarPower Europe’s latest report provides a comprehensive look at how the solar sector is addressing critical sustainability challenges across its complex value chain. ‘Sustainable Solar: Environmental, Social, and Governance Actions Along the Value Chain’ emphasises the sector’s commitment to advancing sustainability and is aligned with global efforts to achieve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.  

The crucial role of solar in global decarbonisation and its significant contribution to economy-wide sustainability as one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity is undeniable. However, sustainability goes beyond clean energy and climate action, and the solar sector remains mindful of its own sustainability.

Hans-Christoph Neidlein

Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, introduced the new report at the Sustainable Solar Europe conference in Brussels, Thursday, December 12, 2024.

Raffaele Rossi, Head of Market Intelligence at SolarPower Europe said; “As solar becomes the backbone of electrified and renewable-based energy systems and with exciting growth expected in the years ahead, it’s critical that the sector is doing its homework and demonstrating its ongoing efforts to reduce its impact across all stages of its lifecycle. To do so, long-term sustainability under all relevant dimensions – environmental, social and economic – must be achieved.”

The landmark report aims to advance and disseminate knowledge on solar sustainability and contribute to positioning the EU solar sector as a sustainability leader towards achieving the ESG goals.

The report covers sustainability considerations across the solar value chain – from the supply chain phase, through the use phase, and to the end-of-life phase.

It is a project that farmer Johann Deix planned carefully. He started producing raspberries and blackberries in 2018. However, the berries don’t like it hot or wet. At the same time, he learned from a study by Wageningen University in the Netherlands that the fruit can tolerate up to 40 per cent shade without complaint.

To stay up to date on all the new developments in the solar industry and solar agriculture, sign up to our FREE NEWSLETTER NOW!

The Dutch scientists also found that the fruit grows more slowly when there is more shade. This is an advantage for the farmer. He can extend his harvest by allowing some of the berries to grow in the sun and others in the shade.

Harvest season extended

These arguments persuaded Johann Deix to cover part of his plantation with semi-transparent solar modules with 35 per cent shading. The other parts have remained under the previous foil tunnels. This allows him to extend the harvest season and enjoy other benefits of the agri-PV system.

See also: Mobile agri-PV system protects young vines

The solar modules protect the berries from heavy rain, hail and overheating. The system also requires less work than the foil tunnels, which have to be replaced regularly. ‘It also gets really hot in the 1,800 metres of foil tunnel in summer,’ explains Johann Deix. This is not good for the raspberries, nor for the farmer and his employees.

Solar power for self-consumption

The solar system also supplies a lot of electricity, which the farmer can consume directly on site. This is because the farmer needs around 120,000 kilowatt hours of electricity every year to cool the harvested berries. The new solar system with its 499 kilowatts of power will supply around four and a half times as much electricity.

Dual use of land: Download our Special Edition on agri-PV

The farmer shares the rest of the electricity with his neighbours. Matthias Zawichowski, manager of the climate and energy model region (KEM) Elsbeere Wienerwald, supported Johann Deix with the project development and is organising a local renewable energy community around the plant.

New financing idea

The farmer also took an unusual approach to financing. He gave anyone who wanted to the opportunity to participate. The citizen participation runs via so-called ‘solar building blocks’. This means that for a one-off payment of 360 euros, supporters receive a total of 36 bottles of raspberry Prosecco and six kilograms of raspberries over three years. ‘As well as a clear conscience,’ emphasises Matthias Zawichowski. The system is also subsidised via a market premium in accordance with the Austrian Renewable Energy Expansion Act.
