Agrivoltaics: Solar PV Combined with Crops in Japan

An agrivoltaic installation in Japan — raising the array high enough to farm the same land underneath.

• Application: agrivoltaics (solar sharing)
• Country: Japan

Two harvests from one field

Agrivoltaics — “solar sharing” in Japan — elevates panels on tall structures so crops keep growing below while the array generates above. The mounting has to clear farm machinery, carry longer spans between posts, and stand up to wind on a taller, more exposed frame — all designed per project to the applicable code. See ground mounting systems and our work across Asia-Pacific.
