Now in its third year, this event will foster knowledge exchange, bring together key stakeholders, and drive collaborations that position agrivoltaics as a cornerstone of sustainable farming in the future.
Exploring Agrivoltaics as the Cornerstone of Future Farming
With farmland under increasing pressure and energy costs on the rise, agrivoltaics offers a powerful solution — generating clean energy while boosting land-use efficiency by up to 70%. Attendees at the Agrivoltaics Conference will discover how this dual-use approach can unlock new revenue streams, increase crop resilience, and advance a more sustainable agricultural economy.
Attendees will also learn how these practices will play a key role in meeting ambitious climate and energy targets set by regions like Germany and California.
As with the alliance’s previous events, Agrivoltaics 2025 aims to explore important issues related to advancing the rapidly growing agrivoltaics market and solidifying agrivoltaics as a sustainable farming solution for the future. These topics include:
- How can agrivoltaic systems be optimally designed to maximize both solar energy production and agricultural yield?
- What are best practices from real-life projects and sustainable business models that deliver value to all agrivoltaics stakeholder groups?
- How can agrivoltaic installations be integrated into smart grids or microgrids to enhance energy efficiency and stability?
Participants will also have the opportunity to enhance their experience with a field trip, where they will get to see first-hand examples of agrivoltaics in action.
Another one of the conference’s highlights will be an on-site Poster Session, providing a platform for professionals, researchers, students, etc. to exhibit their work related to this topic. If you have an innovative idea that deserves global attention, we invite you to submit your work for consideration. Click here to make your submission.
About the Conference
The California Germany Agrivoltaics Conference was created to strengthen transatlantic collaboration in this important sector, promote idea exchanges, and create an ecosystem from which all players involved can benefit. The goal is to build strong German-American partnerships that will lead this growing market of agrivoltaics.
This conference is a joint initiative of the co-organizers Representative of German Business (GACC West), UC Davis, and Sunzaun, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection.
