Together with our research consortium SynAgri-PV, we hosted a parliamentary breakfast today on the "Roadmap for the Market Rollout of Agri-Photovoltaics."

"To ensure that the high level of acceptance for agri-PV is not jeopardized during the market ramp-up, strict standards are needed to distinguish it from conventional ground-mounted PV systems. Agri-PV must clearly serve the interests of agriculture!"

Richard Härtel, Authorized Signatory, Elysium Solar GmbH

During the parliamentary breakfast, participants discussed the current opportunities and challenges facing agri-PV:

- What are the current market conditions?
- What are the policy and technical options available?
- What are the legal levers?

These issues were discussed constructively with policymakers, with the aim of effectively combining a future-proof agricultural sector with the sustainable expansion of renewable energy.

Together, we can shape the agricultural and energy transitions!

We would like to thank theGerman Energy Agency (dena)and Tibor Fischer for moderating and organizing the event, as well as our partners in the research consortium:Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE,Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), The BBH Group, Bosch & Partner GmbH,the Environmental Energy Law Foundation, andthe University of Hohenheim.
