Agrivoltaics in Vineyards & Orchards
Around the world, vineyards and orchards are adopting agrivoltaic systems to protect crops from extreme weather, stabilise growing conditions and improve land performance. Elevated solar structures create moderated microclimates that support healthier plants, better-quality fruit and more consistent harvests.
Benefits Seen in Global Agrivoltaic Projects
- Climate Mitigation - Solar structures help protect vines and soft-fruit crops from heat, frost and drought by moderating temperature and light exposure.
- Higher Yields - International trials show yield improvements of 20–60%, depending on crop variety and climate conditions.
- Improved Fruit Quality - Balanced shade and light distribution lead to improved colour, flavour, sugar–acid balance and overall fruit quality.
- Water Conservation - Shaded microclimates reduce evaporation, helping farms lower irrigation demands and improve water efficiency.

#Your Questions About Agri Solar Panels Answered
Agrivoltaics in Australia are redefining how farmers grow and power their land. Agrivoltaic systems use solar panels on farmland to produce renewable energy while supporting crop growth underneath. It’s a cost-effective, sustainable way to reduce power costs and increase productivity.
Transparent agri panels are solar modules designed to let sunlight through while generating power. They’re installed above crops to reduce heat stress, provide partial shading, and support healthy plant growth — ideal for agrivoltaic farming.
No. They’re designed to maintain the balance your crops need. The panel spacing and transparency allow enough sunlight for photosynthesis, while protecting your crops from excess heat, UV, hail, or frost.
Most farms see payback within 3 to 6 years, depending on your power usage, location, and system size. After that, you're generating free energy and protecting your crops with every season.
Yes. We deliver agri solar solutions across Australia, including all capital cities and regional zones like the Hunter Valley, Barossa, Riverland, Swan Valley, Gippsland, and more.
Yes. We’ll check your eligibility for government rebates and help you access solar finance options if needed. Most clients qualify for support — and we handle the paperwork.
