Agrivoltaics, also known as agri-PV or agri-photovoltaics or, refers to the installation of solar panels on agricultural land to combine agricultural production with renewable electricity generation.This dual use of land improves efficiency and increases the resilience of farms.
The advantages of agrivoltaics: benefits for farmers and society
- Optimised use of agricultural land
- Generation of additional income
- Protection of crops against certain climatic hazards (rain, hail, excessive sun)
- Direct contribution to energy transition and renewable electricity production
This approach serves as an important lever for sustainable agriculture.
However, certain challenges remain, particularly in technical, financial and regulatory terms. Selecting the right crops and agrivoltatic systems for each context is crucial.
To ensure the success of projects, targeted support and ongoing research are essential.
Financial support and guidance in Luxembourg for successful implementation of agrivoltaic systems
Since 2023, the Ministry of the Economy has been supporting the development of agrivoltaics in Luxembourg through calls for tenders. A first pilot call was launched in 2023, followed by a second in 2025, which was open from February 15th to September 1st.
A multi-year indicative timetable now allows farmers and investors to anticipate upcoming opportunities.
There are currently three types of installations:
- Power stations equipped with vertical bifacial panels or trackers
- Shade structures
- Ground-mounted power stations
