The availability of cheap solar panels has led to a massive expansion of photovoltaic systems in rural areas. But will this result in a loss of farmland? It doesn’t have to be that way: a team of German inventors has developed systems that allow farmers to reap a double harvest: crops & solar energy

Some 500 gigawatts (GW) of peak solar power capacity could be installed on Germany’s agricultural land — 100 GW over the country’s 2040 photovoltaic expansion targets, according to a report from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems.

Žito Grupa has commissioned another solar power plant, so now its two photovoltaic installations will supply 60% of the electricity needed by its oil factory in Čepin. Croatia’s agri-food company Žito Grupa completed the construction of a new 3.5 MW solar power plant at its cooking oil facility Tvornica Ulja Čepin alongside a 4.5 MW / 9 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). Projected annual electricity generation from the new facility is 5,500 MWh, compared to the facility’s total consumption of 10,130 MWh. The construction of the TUČ 2 solar facility represents a EUR 3.85 million investment According to Žito Grupa, the generated electricity will cover onsite energy demands, with any excess stored in the battery system. This makes it a prosumer. The initial solar plant had a capacity of 1.7 MW but it was not equipped with battery storage. The TUČ 2 solar facility was a EUR 3.85 million investment originally announced during the company’s initial public offering. The project was co-financed by the European Union through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, as support to firms to increase energy and resource efficiency. This new investment enhances the energy efficiency of the cooking oil facility Karlo Dudaš, President of...
