Longi supplies solar modules to Victorian agrivoltaic project

Longi's supply of 435 W solar modules for a 52 kW agrivoltaic project at a pear orchard in Victoria, Australia, represents a small but significant step in the integration of renewable energy and agriculture. The project, developed by Agriculture Victoria Research, leverages Longi's solar technology to potentially enhance agricultural productivity while generating clean energy. While the financial details remain undisclosed, this supply agreement underscores the growing interest in agrivoltaics as a sustainable land management strategy. The deal is notable for its focus on agrivoltaics, a relatively nascent but promising sector. Longi's involvement lends credibility to the project and demonstrates the company's commitment to exploring diverse applications of solar technology. The project's location in Victoria's Goulburn Valley, a key agricultural region, highlights the potential for similar initiatives to be replicated across Australia and other agricultural economies. The success of this project could pave the way for larger-scale agrivoltaic deployments, contributing to both renewable energy targets and improved agricultural practices.
