PomePV (M) about apple orchard in Kressbronn

The agri-PV pilot plant above the apple orchard of the Bernhard fruit farm consists of a metal frame on which solar modules are mounted. These are particularly stable Almaden double-glass modules with a transparency of around 40%. The green electricity generated is fed into the grid of the energy supplier Regionalwerk Bodensee. "Agri-photovoltaics is a great opportunity for agriculture, sustainability and energy supply," said Prime Minister Kretschmann, who came to the inauguration of the plant. It offers protection against weather events such as hail, heavy rain or night frost. The system is also intended to reduce the use of pesticides, plant diseases and pest infestations.
