Solarplaza Summit | Agri-PV Europe

Agri-PV: Growing a Shared Future

Regulations | Integrating solar with agriculture | Investment Opportunities

Our story begins with a challenge: feeding a growing population while addressing climate change and preserving our natural resources.

Agri-PV emerges as a powerful response to this imperative. The European Agri-PV market is projected to nearly double by 2031, from USD 4.34 billion in 2024 to USD 7.61 billion by 2031 (CAGR 8.3%).

Our 4th annual edition Solarplaza Summit Agri-PV 2025 takes attendees to Germany, a global leader in Agri-PV, thanks to its forward-thinking legislation and thriving sector. This makes it the ideal location to explore technological revolutions in Agri-PV (cutting-edge advancements in panel design, microclimate management, and agricultural robotics). Gain insights into the evolving Agri-PV market, from investment opportunities to innovative business models, and discover its potential to drive rural development and a resilient food system. Connect with key players to forge partnerships and accelerate the adoption of best practices. 

Collaboration is key. This summit unites growers, developers, policymakers, researchers, manufacturers, and investors to tackle shared challenges—from cost reduction and land use optimization to policy alignment and public engagement—and forge a path forward. Join us in Germany, a leader in Agri-PV innovation, as we're "Growing a Shared Future" for agriculture, energy, and our planet.
