Technical FAQs 4

Are agrivoltaic nets redundant in orcharding?

Hail protection nets in orcharding become redundant with an agrivoltaic system. The agricultural sector is facing new challenges. In the wake of climate change, strategies must be developed to avoid negative impacts on harvests.

How does a solar orchard work?

The orchard runs a 160 kW solar PV system paired with 300 kWh of battery storage. It’s the beating heart of their operation, fueling: Orchard management — Fully electric 40 hp tractor (driver-optional), electric mowers, and platforms. Irrigation — Electric pumps powered directly by solar during daytime.

Why did Forest Lodge set up a solar Orchard?

Forest Lodge co-founder Mike Casey says the orchard’s solar set up not just as a technical achievement — it was also about setting the farm up for the future. “We’re in a remote location. Getting diesel deliveries in winter isn’t guaranteed.

Can agrivoltaics replace protective measures in apple cultivation?

The project "APV-Obstbau" (Agrivoltaic Orcharding) will investigate to what extent agrivoltaics can replace these protective measures in apple cultivation, which system design makes sense for this crop and in which way the agrivoltaic system affects crop yields.
