Advantages

  • Dimensions of the construction-design is adapted to: different arrangements of both the panels and the crop.
  • Construction: for mounting the panels, supporting the crops or cultivation systems.
  • Construction can be adapted to the various crop handling (logistics).
  • Plastic film is replaced with translucent solar panels, sustainable and puts an end to annually recurring labour costs.
  • By using a rain gutter (part of the construction), the rainwater can be collected and used for irrigating the crops.
  • Protection of the crops against increasingly extreme weather conditions: rain, hail and too intense sunlight.
  • By using screw anchors, we can limit the depth so that archeology is less disturbed.
  • Double function of the land (win/win situation).
  • Biodiversity and the insect life encouraged on poor soils.
  • Due to the free passage height of standard 2.1 m. there are many different crops to grow.
  • Soil is not left “exhausted” at the end of the park’s lifetime.
  • The vegetation under the panels use nitrogen and CO2, which would otherwise end up in the environment.
  • Because this is really green electricity, this has a positive effect on the GVO (guarantee of origin).
