Abstract
The increasing detrimental consequences of climate change and the decline in fossil fuel resources are leading to a rise in demand for food and energy. Agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) offers an opportunity to combine space-optimised photovoltaic (PV) use for sustainable agriculture. By feeding solar energy into the grid, PV is regarded a key component of renewable energy systems. Especially, the wine industry is facing increasing challenges due to climate change, particularly in regions where excessive solar radiation and rising temperatures negatively affect grape quality and yield. In this article we have examined a cost-efficient technical solution that can also be used on a small scale. It is shown that by using mostly standardcomponents without special parts, a modular system with high photovoltaic output and the least possible disruption to agricultural use can be created. Due to bifacial solar modules, which have recently emerged on a massive scale, a cost-effective structure withoptimal use of the sun over the course of the day was realised. Initial resultsof PV utilization, especially in the winter months, with shading and rain influenceshow the technological and economic feasibility of the proposed technology.
