Agrivoltaics

Powering Solar and Agriculture Together

Unlock more energy and more value from the same land!

Agrivoltaics — or AgriPV — is the practice of using the same land for both solar energy generation and agriculture. By integrating solar infrastructure with farming, agrivoltaics maximises land-use efficiency and reduces conflict between food and energy production.

Research from the University of Sheffield shows that agrivoltaic systems could meet the UK’s electricity demand four times over without reducing farmland. Meanwhile, a DW Energy study suggests land productivity can increase by up to 186% when agriculture and solar work together.

Achieving this requires intelligent array design — elevated PV structures and optimised row spacing that allow light, water, crops, and livestock to coexist.

Latitude40 & Agrivoltaics

No concrete foundations, livestock-friendly design, optimised light distribution and low-maintenance modular system.

Latitude40 is inherently suited to agrivoltaic systems. Its array layout is already optimised for light distribution and livestock movement — without compromise.

The patented tripod design and screw-pile installation eliminate the need for concrete foundations, reducing cost, installation time, and ecological impact. The open structure allows livestock to move freely beneath the array, while continuous tracker movement creates balanced, dynamic shading that supports healthy crops.

Latitude40’s modular, off-the-shelf components minimise downtime and simplify maintenance — allowing farmers to focus on farming, not infrastructure.
