Blankensee, Germany - greenhouse PV
Overview
The testing site is located at the BIO-Gärtnerei Watzkendorf farm in Germany. It includes an innovative agrivoltaics system aimed at sustainably increasing greenhouse yields and improving electricity production at the greenhouse in the organic farm.
This represents a pioneering attempt to explore the benefits of using CO2 enrichment to expand agrivoltaics usage to areas with low sunshine conditions. Bio-Gärtnerei Watzkendorf has gained extensive experience in using CO2 enrichment through organic means.
