More photovoltaic systems on agricultural land

So-called ‘agri-PV’ systems (agricultural photovoltaic systems) are supposed to be promoted on all arable land in Germany in the future through the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).

This makes it possible to use the same areas for agricultural and energy purposes. Protected areas, grassland, nature conservation-relevant arable land and moorland soils are excluded for nature conservation and climate protection.
