Mainstreaming Vertical PV and Agrivoltaics
June 25 @ 4:00 am – 5:00 am EDT
For solar projects in 2025, finding space on crowded electricity networks is a major concern. Many are looking to co-located storage as a solution, but vertically-installed bifacial PV modules offer another potential route to delivering PV energy at different times of the day. As PV penetration in mature markets surpass 15% (Germany, 2024), we see that the effect of solar generation in the spot market prices is becoming critical to calculate the profitability of each new project.
Vertically installed PV produces most of its energy outside of the main generation hours of south-facing PV plants, opening the door to a higher profitability of the system. In this webinar, we’ll examine the part vertical PV can play in addressing low and negative electricity prices, and securing long-term profitability for solar projects. The case for vertical PV is particularly compelling for projects on agricultural land, and will be further explored through a look at one of the most developed markets for these agrivoltaics, in Italy.
