  Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 21, 2025 Photovoltaic systems are becoming more common in open landscapes, but public approval often lags. A recent study by the University of Bonn reveals that agrivoltaics-solar panels installed on farmland-are significantly more accepted by the public than standard solar parks. Agrivoltaic systems integrate solar arrays with active agricultural use, such as placing panels above vineyards, pastures, or crop fields. While these installations may reduce crop yields, they can also bring added benefits. For ... read more |
