Working on sunshine: Agrivoltaics in East Africa
Agrivoltaics – a new technology that delivers power, crop production, and rainwater harvesting all in the same place by combining agriculture with photovoltaics (panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity) – offers an exciting win-win.
Harvesting the sun twice: Energy, food and water benefits from
Agrivoltaics have proven benefits for the food-energy-water nexus in the USA, Europe and Asia, but research is lacking in sub-Saharan Africa, where energy access remains low, and climate change and water scarcity threaten food systems.
East Africa Launches First Agrivoltaic System
The Agrivoltaics system has been co-developed with local agriculture and energy experts to deliver solar electricity, crop production, and rainwater harvesting on the same land area to provide multiple energy and
Aptech Africa Lights Up Remote Equatorial Guinea

6 FAQs about [Equatorial Guinea agrivoltaics system]
Can agrivoltaic energy systems improve agricultural productivity in East Africa?
Access to energy is a widespread problem across East Africa, where 55 per cent of the population still do not have reliable electricity. Agrivoltaic energy systems can significantly improve the productivity of crops because the shade provided by the panel arrays reduces heat stress and water loss.
What is agrivoltaics & how does it work?
The Agrivoltaics system has been co-developed with local agriculture and energy experts to deliver solar electricity, crop production, and rainwater harvesting on the same land area to provide multiple energy and food security benefits.
Does East Africa have a solar agrivoltaics system?
East Africa launches its first solar and agricultural combined system. 55% of East Africa still don’t have access to electricity The Agrivoltaics system has been developed to solve both electricity and crop production problems.
How can agrivoltaic systems improve food and energy security?
Agrivoltaic systems concommitently tackle food and energy security challenges on the same area of land, while also improving farmer livelihoods. Designed correc
Can agrivoltaic energy systems improve crop productivity?
Agrivoltaic energy systems can significantly improve the productivity of crops because the shade provided by the panel arrays reduces heat stress and water loss. Today, the event at Latia Agribusiness Centre in Isinya, Kenya, will include a tour of the Agrivoltaics system and knowledge sharing talks on crop yields.
Can agrivoltaics reap more than you sow?
Reap more than you sow. Agrivoltaics – or Agri-PV – is the synergy of agriculture and photovoltaic technology. It’s the risk-free key to maximizing the potential of your land without interfering with your livestock or impacting your crop cultivation. So try harnessing the Sun in more ways than one with Schletter’s cutting-edge Agri-PV systems.
