Powering agricultural operations with clean energy

Agrivoltaics (AgriPV) projects are rising in popularity across the world as they bring opportunities for optimizing land usage for both solar photovoltaic power generation and agriculture. However, there are challenges that come with agriPV microgrids, such as transmitting power over long distances and navigating different load characteristics of the farmland and surrounding infrastructures.

Seeking the benefits of agriPV, a raspberry farm in Switzerland, partnered with SolBerry AG to build a DC microgrid. SolBerry commissioned a third-party storage systems solution provider to streamline the agriPV system design and manage the energy in the DC microgrid. This integrated solution features String Optimizers from Ampt, the #1 optimizer company for large-scale PV systems.

Learn how Ampt provided reliable, cost-effective clean energy production with Ampt String Optimizers integrated into the energy solution, SolBerry was able to deploy a robust DC microgrid that not only generates and manages energy used by the immediate agriculture business, but also serves the needs of neighboring energy consumers including residential housing, barns, electric vehicle charging stations, water pumps, and cooling systems.
