Greece aims to host a new batch of agrivoltaics, based on a bill of law that the Ministry of Environment and Energy submitted to Parliament. It includes subsidies.
Several proposed provisions concern carbon capture and storage (CCS), energy storage and renewable energy. Among them, a goal is set for the installation of 130 MW of agrivoltaics across the country.
Specifically, up to 10 MW would be allowed in each periphery (region), with individual projects at a maximum of 200 kW. The agrisosolar panels must be mounted at over 2.1 meters above the ground, in order to allow agricultural production below them. Alternatively, they can be installed on top of greenhouses.
Another interesting novelty is that agrivoltaics could be combined with battery storage unit. They would need to provide at least one hour of storage and wouldn’t be allowed to store energy from the grid, but only from the solar plant.
