Problem – Land Cover

❉  The expansion of PV system comes along with a great use of ground surface

❉  Besides, the expansion potential of PV on roofs is severely limited

❉  A strong expansion on open spaces is needed

❉  Suitable areas for PV systems are often valuable farmlands or natural habitats

❉  Conflicts of objective: Expansion of renewables vs. agriculture or natural habitats

Solution – Vertical PV

Photovoltaïque
Vertical PV Solar

Advantages – Vertical PV Structure

❉ Simultaneous use of land for agricultural or ecological purposes

❉ Better network integration: Power generation primarily in the morning and evening hours

❉ Higher yield and higher market price

❉ Ecological enhancement, agricultural land use (grazing and pasture land) remains possible

❉ Due to vertical construction no sealing, land usage <1%

❉ Creation of linear habitat structures
