Agrivoltaics integrates solar power generation with agriculture. Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) are exploring different scenarios to optimize both the photovoltaic panel positioning and the underlying crops. A pilot project in Nussbach will contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact of agrivoltaic systems on apple orchards and the surrounding environment.
