Beer is one of the favorite drinks of Germans. According to the German Purity Law, only malt and water are used for production, and of course hops. But how do beer production and climate protection come together?
Recently, the first hop agricultural photovoltaic system was completed in the Bavarian town of Hallertau. Solar panels are built above the 1.3-hectare hop field, combining photovoltaics with agricultural planting. Solar power can guarantee electricity supply to about 200 homes. Solar panels are also very useful from an agricultural perspective.
Because the solar panels are installed at a height of about six meters above the ground, plants can be protected from excessive sunlight, hail, and water evaporation. Through power generation on the shed and planting under the shed, the utilization rate of land can be improved, and renewable energy power can be provided, which helps to achieve the goal of climate protection. And agricultural photovoltaic is also considered to be the theme of the future
