REGACE

The EU-funded REGACE project aims to deploy and test a highly innovative in-greenhouse agrivoltaic system in six locations in Europe and Israel. The system will use consortium partner TriSolar’s sophisticated greenhouse controllers to ensure that there will be no drop at all in greenhouse agricultural yields, thus fulfilling the double target of green energy and food security. The system to be tested will use CO2 enrichment to increase electrical yields, especially in areas with less abundant sunshine. REGACE will make dual use not only of land but also of greenhouse infrastructure, thus achieving both a lower cost per installed kilowatt than ground-based PV systems and a far lower carbon footprint than any PV system.
