Germany-based IBC SOLAR has begun building the 8.5 MW Agri-Solar Park Veringenstadt in Baden-Württemberg. The dual-land-use project features three sub-PV systems equipped with single-axis trackers. These trackers tilt 60-90 degrees, enabling efficient solar energy capture while preserving over 85% of arable land. Designed for three farmers, it includes 8-meter-wide sliding gates for easy access and a soil-friendly approach by ramming module frames instead of cementing. Supported under Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), the project aligns with Agri-PV standards, including minimum system height. According to IBC SOLAR, commissioning is slated for Q1 2025. Agri-PV adoption has surged in Germany, driven by policy support and innovations like single-axis trackers, which enhance land efficiency, says IBC SOLAR.
