   "In Poland, a case study considering agri-PV and wheat concludes that revenues per hectare can be twelve times higher than those from wheat crops alone, Ember said, with a potential annual profit of €1268 per hectare from the combined electricity and wheat sales — a stark contrast with traditional wheat production that is estimated to be generating net losses in 2024."

   Even a fraction of that kind of yield would already be exciting.

     Agrivoltaics can increase grape yield by up to 60%

     French #agrivoltaics company Sun’Agri says that two of its facilities increased #grape yields by 20% to 60% in 2024, compared to areas without solar panels. The PV modules helped regulate temperature fluctuations, reducing summer heat peaks and winter temperature declines."

     Also reduces irrigation needs by 20% to 70%.
