Agrivoltaics boost winter wheat yields in Austrian trial

EWS reports winter wheat yields 14% higher at its Austrian agrivoltaic site, where solar panels are installed over farmland. The findings are being cited as evidence that renewables and agriculture can work together, with similar integration possible for trees in livestock, horticulture and arable systems through agroforestry, so farming and energy generation need not compete for land.

Why now: Growing interest in land-sharing solutions that combine solar energy with food production and improve farm returns.

Evidence

• EWS reports 14% higher winter wheat yield at Austrian agrivoltaic site. You can integrate trees into livestock, horticulture and arable systems - agroforestry, and you can do the same with renewables and get better returns. One doesn’t have to replace the other. https://www.… · nspugh@toot.wales · 4
