STRAWBERRIES

Solar Thermal Agriculture with Bifacial Collectors for Farming Synergies

Against the background of the competition for space, bifacial Agri-photovoltaic systems were developed to combine power production with farming (cf. Agri-PV systems; Next2Sun). A solar thermal implementation of this bifacial system concept does not yet exist. The aim of the project is to accelerate the development and commercialisation of this innovative renewable heating technology that enables new ways for implementing solar thermal (ST) heating systems in Europe by 2030.

TRI 4: Efficient zero emission heating and cooling solutions

PVT4EU

Photovoltaic Thermal For Europe

The green and digital transitions of the European economy and its energy systems require sustainable, secure, and climate-neutral technologies. The industrial sector is a major energy consumer in the European Union (EU) accounting for a third of its final energy consumption, which mainly comes from fossil fuels.
