It is increasingly accepted that continued growth in solar installations will require new approaches and collaboration with other industries. Agrivoltaics is among the most important of these. And as learnings from early movers and pilot projects pile up, winning strategies are emerging. In this pv magazine Webinar, we look at the latest trends in agrivoltaics and how innovations in trackers and other system components can help ensure a positive outcome for both solar and farmers.
Agrivoltaics, where solar installations are integrated into active farmland, is a fast-growing niche in the solar projects space. But meeting the needs of two industries with quite different priorities comes with challenges that this young industry is still working to solve.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll take a look at some key trends in the agrivoltaics space in 2026. This will include market growth and the key approaches gaining ground in different regions, and some of the pain points in the current crop of projects. Regulatory constraints, and balancing the needs of agriculture with optimized solar generation, will also be on the agenda.
We’ll take a look at Clenergy’s approach to solving some of these challenges through technical innovation, with its AgriSun tracker and smart app control. In the second half of the program, we’ll host an open discussion, with the chance for questions from our live audience, featuring agrivoltaics experts including Nathalie Kermelk, European Product Director, Clenergy and Ramón Ibarra Segura, Sales Manager for EU projects at Clenergy.
