Interest in agricultural PV is growing across Europe - not just among policymakers but also among farmers, as it enables efficient land use, creates new revenue streams, and can even boost yields for certain crops. Despite its vast business potential and growing market, agricultural PV remains in its infancy, primarily due to high costs and legislative constraints.
