Agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) is gaining momentum as a solution to produce renewable energy and maintain agricultural output on the same land. By installing photovoltaic modules above crops, farmers can generate clean electricity while preserving — and in some cases enhancing — agricultural productivity. This approach, also known as solar farming, supports Switzerland’s renewable energy goals while strengthening rural economies.
In addition to improving land-use efficiency, Agri-PV can provide farmers with an extra revenue stream and help mitigate the effects of climate change by offering partial shading and reducing heat stress on crops. In trials worldwide, crop yields have remained stable — and in some cases improved — under well-designed systems.
In Switzerland, RSM Energy is advancing Agri-PV development by combining expertise in project planning, technical design, and agricultural integration. Current work focuses on identifying the optimal system layouts, crop combinations, and regulatory pathways to make Agri-PV viable at scale.
