BayWa r.e. has commissioned its first agrivoltaics (agriPV) project in Spain, a 54MW facility, and has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to sell electricity generated at the project to the Velux Group, a Danish window supplier.
The Alhendín project, in southern Spain, near Granada, consists of 85,000 solar panels, with 10% of the land set aside for farming machinery to pass between the panels. In addition to the agricultural and electricity-generating components of the project, the solar farm will also be used as a testing bed for a range of academic research. Two Spanish universities, the Universidad de Córdoba and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, will work with BayWa r.e. to complete work, such as monitoring vegetation alongside electricity generation.
