Agri-PV projects
To give you a comprehensive impression of what joint Agri-PV projects can look like and how we implement them with the partners involved and that we actively, transparently and cooperatively shape the entire process from planning to commissioning, you will find current Next2Sun projects below.
Krauscha agrivoltaics
Neißeaue (Germany’s easternmost settlement) in the district of Görlitz (Saxony) is home to the 68.66-hectare site of the Groß Krauscha-Kaltwasser photovoltaic development plan. Project development began in 2020 with the acquisition of the site and the launch of the planning process. Building rights for an agriphotovoltaic system with around 20 megawatts of generator output are expected to be granted in the third quarter of 2022.
The previous farmer will be responsible for subsequent agriculture use. The 11-metre row space will continue to be used for organic farming, focusing on seed propagation.
One particular feature is the successful participation by part of the space in the innovation tender from 1 April 2022, under the special solar systems segment. This provides funding for special system combinations, e.g. with battery storage.

Pfaffenthaler Hof agrivoltaics
The town of Ottweiler in the district of Neunkirchen is home to the 25.55-hectare site of the Pfaffenthaler Hof Solar Park development plan. Project development began in 2019 with the launch of the planning process. Building rights for an agriphotovoltaic system with around 4.2 megawatts of generator output are expected to be granted in the third quarter of 2022.
The space will continue to be used as cattle pasture. To ensure that the cattle can coexist alongside solar power generation, cable wires and inverters are being laid and installed with access protection. The enclosure uses a pasture fence, as per the development plan. The construction area will be permeated with rows of fruit trees and crossed by a gas pipeline, allowing plans for six different construction areas with the rows of vertical, bifacial module substructures using different orientations in some places. This will have a homogenising effect on the feeding profile.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I invest in Agri-PV as a farmer or landowner?
Investing in Agri-PV with Next2Sun not only offers you the opportunity to be part of the energy transition, but also improves the profitability of your agricultural operations.
You benefit from additional sources of income through energy sales or own use and at the same time can increase the efficiency of your agricultural operations through improved soil conditions and reduced water requirements.
How can collaboration with Next2Sun improve my agricultural production and energy generation?
Next2Sun offers innovative Agri-PV solutions that allow you to continue farming your agricultural land while producing renewable energy.
Our systems are designed to make the most of solar radiation while improving soil quality, helping you to achieve both your environmental and economic goals.
What guarantees does Next2Sun offer for the longevity and reliability of Agri-PV systems?
With the Next2Sun guarantee, we assure you of a long-term and reliable partnership.
Our products are backed by comprehensive guarantees and we support you from planning to complete installation and beyond.
In addition, our systems are known for their durability and resistance to environmental influences.
How effective is the use of open spaces for agri-PV systems by Next2Sun?
Next2Sun’s use of open space for agri-PV systems enables efficient dual use of the land, allowing you to continue to use up to 90% of the land for agriculture while producing significant amounts of energy.
Our systems are designed to have minimal impact on agricultural use while achieving high energy yields through the use of direct and reflected sunlight.
This represents a sustainable investment that offers both ecological and economic benefits.
