Solar Edge
SolarEdge offers a cutting-edge solution known as agrivoltaics, combining solar energy and farming on the same farmland. This innovative approach promotes sustainable farming practices while generating additional revenue and offsetting electricity costs. By elevating solar panels, the system minimises the impact of severe weather and provides shade that keeps the soil moist, reducing irrigation expenses. The optimised solution incorporates an AI-powered tracker control system, automatically adjusting solar panel angles based on sunlight, weather, and agricultural seasonal patterns. SolarEdge's Monitoring Platform ensures efficient dual-use farming by tracking system performance data, enabling immediate fault detection, and facilitating remote maintenance, thus maximising solar production and uptime.
