Based on system design, the market is segmented into fixed and dynamic. The dynamic market will grow more than USD 0.9 billion by 2032. The agrivoltaic systems allow solar panels to adjust their angle and orientation based on the sun’s position, maximizing energy capture throughout the day. They can better manage the balance between solar energy production and crop growth by adjusting shading levels. Growing innovations in tracking technology and automated systems are making dynamic agrivoltaics more feasible. Moreover, dynamic agrivoltaic systems can be tailored to a variety of crops, allowing farmers to experiment with different agricultural practices. Increasingly favorable policies and incentives for renewable energy and sustainable farming practices are encouraging investment in dynamic agrivoltaic systems.
Based on harvest type, the Europe agrivoltaic market is segmented as root crops, vegetables, and fruits. The root crops market will grow over CAGR 6% by 2032 owing to growing suitability for cultivation under solar panels, leading to increased interest in agrivoltaic systems. Ongoing studies for root crops respond to shaded conditions created by solar panels along with growing sensitivity to water availability will help retain soil moisture by reducing direct sunlight and evaporation. Farmers are increasingly recognizing the economic benefits of growing root crops alongside solar energy production. Several pilot projects in Europe are specifically focused on growing root crops in agrivoltaic settings. These projects provide valuable data on yields, profitability, and best practices, encouraging further product adoption.
France Agrivoltaic market will grow at a CAGR of more than USD 1.6 Billion by 2032 owing to surging demand for solar energy, driven by limited land availability and the dual benefits of providing shade to crops and potentially mitigating extreme weather conditions. Local manufacturing of solar panels is on the rise, bolstered by supportive government policies and financial investments, further fueling the industry demand.
Growing funding aims to bolster the regions installations, targeting a reduction in GHG emissions and an uptick in the share of renewable energies. Growing concerns over climate change coupled with a rising demand for resilient farming systems, are set to reshape the business landscape. The adoption of technologically advanced greenhouses, paired with improved monitoring and management practices, promises to boost crop yields and drive the industry trends.
