AgriVoltaics 2021
After last year’s fantastic start of the first agrivoltaics conference with more than 350 participants from 38 countries, we are looking forward to the second edition of the AgriVoltaics conference. It will run from June 14 – 16, 2021 as a virtual event, allowing the international agrivoltaics community to share up-to-date experience and knowledge on combining the agricultural use of land with the production of electric energy by photovoltaics – Connecting Agrivoltaics Worldwide!
AgriVoltaics2021 will cover all aspects, from science to application, reflecting the wide thematic range. It thus attracts experts from crop science and agronomy, hydrology, solar energy as well as researchers who deal with systemic aspects and carry out e.g. socio-economic studies. The conference will feature outstanding scientific talks and posters, lively discussions, a dedicated sponsor area and manifold opportunities for professional and social exchange. It will be hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE.
