WHAT IS AGRIVOLTAICS?

Agrivoltaics, the combination of agriculture and PV holds great promises...
- Avoid land use competition between agriculture and solar energy
- Reduce the water requirements of the crops
- Reduce CO2 footprint of agricultural processes and comply with environmental norms
...but current solutions are based on conventional PV panels that are not optimised for agrivoltaics:
- Limited efficiency of other translucent solutions
- Reduced crop and electrical yield due to shading
WHY THEIA VS OTHER
AGRIVOLTAIC SOLUTIONS

- Avoid the trade-off between agriculture and solar installations
- Grow plants more effectively: no direct light, micro-climate effect, protection from hail
- Increase revenues (electricity and crops)
- Decarbonize agriculture and cities
- Reduce crop water consumption
KEY APPLICATIONS
THEIA is a PV module which can produce more electricity than a conventional crystalline-silicon (c-Si) PV panel whilst letting through up to 78% of the sunlight

ADVANTAGES
- Grow plants more effectively with
an optimised lighting environment
(direct light can hurt plants) - Reduce greenhouse OPEX:
- Lower electricity bill thanks to
highest efficiency - Higher thermal insulation requiring
less temperature control
- Lower electricity bill thanks to
- Replace costly existing practices
such as:- Chalk-based painting
- Mechanical screens
- Comply with the environmental
norms for reduction of CO2 footprint
Greenhouses

ADVANTAGES
- Grow crops more effectively
with higher returns for the
farmer:- Optimised lighting environment
- Protected from weather (frost,
storms, hail, …) - Reduced evaporation
- Increase ROI & lower CO2 footprint:
- Up to 160% more electricity at
installation level - Increased returns on costs, e.g.,
mounting racks
- Up to 160% more electricity at
- Up to 40% less land required
for same electricity production
Open fields

ADVANTAGES
- Avoid the competition between
vegetalised cities and distributed
electricity generation - Reduce electricity bill of
buildings / factories - Improve rooftop environment
for plant growth:- Homogenous diffuse lighting
environment - Protection from weather
(temperature, storms, hail, …) - Reduced evaporation
- Homogenous diffuse lighting
- Comply with environmental
norms for reduction of CO2
footprint of buildings
Urban rooftops

ADVANTAGES
- Enable zero-energy buildings
with more energy per surface area
than other market solutions - Create soft natural inside
lighting:- Natural sunlight (no coloring of
light) - No shade (except frame)
- No glare
- Natural sunlight (no coloring of
- Aesthetic appearance outside
and inside
