With the agrivoltaic agriculture system, which allows production in more than one area on the same land, photovoltaic panels produce electricity on a certain piece of land, and on the other hand, suitable areas for agriculture are created between the panels or under the panels. Now there is a new system in the United States. For the first time within the borders of the USA vertical agrivoltaic system is being established. So how?
USA’s first vertical agrivoltaic system
According to the news on futureflow.life, Agrivoltaics is actually not new to the United States. In many parts of the country, there are places with agricultural land under solar panels. But making it vertical? That’s a brand new system. US solar developer iSunGerman agrivoltaic company to build US’s first vertical agrivoltaic system Next2Sun He started working with.
Revolution in the energy world! The new material discovered will increase efficiency
A new material discovered by Japanese scientists is shaping the future of the energy world.
Next2Sun installs double-faced solar panels on its patented vertical mounting system. These panels produce power during off-peak hours and are said to be ideal for farmland. The system is currently used on farms in Germany.
USA’s first vertical agrivoltaic systemThe construction of the project will start in 2024. Address, Vermont. The system will sit on 3.7 acres and have 69 vertical panels. Each of the panels will be equipped with a double-faced solar module. Along with root vegetables such as carrots and beets, saffron can also be planted between sun rows.
For now, the companies have not announced how much power the system will produce. In addition, it is not clear who will benefit from the clean electricity produced here or who the customer is.
