// Agrivoltaics · Dual-Use Solar

The same land
grows both.

Elevated photovoltaic arrays over working cropland. Food and power, on the same hectare. Our Erbil pilot measured a 60% productivity uplift versus the crop-only control field.

01 / Premise

We don't pick between food and power.

Agrivoltaics solves the land-use trade-off that conventional ground-mount solar can't. Done well, the solar array helps the crops underneath — and the landowner earns two revenue streams from the same parcel.

, Microclimate

Shade is a feature.

Partial shade from elevated panels reduces ambient soil temperature, cuts irrigation demand, and protects sensitive crops from peak-irradiance damage.

  • Reduces heat stress
  • Reduces evaporation
  • Extends growing windows
, Dual-use land

Two revenue streams.

The landowner gets crop revenue and a share of the energy revenue. The developer gets a permitting story that survives community consultation.

  • Co-revenue contracts
  • Landowner participation
  • Faster permitting
, Energy yield

Bifacial gains.

Crops underneath reflect diffuse light onto the rear-side of bifacial panels — measured gains of 4–7% on yield versus equivalent ground-mount in our pilots.

  • Bifacial advantage
  • Higher PR in cool seasons
  • Lower panel temp

Erbil agrivoltaic greenhouse.
240 hectares. Audited.

The Wattrex flagship for the dual-use thesis. Elevated arrays above climate-controlled greenhouses, paired with conventional ground-mount on adjacent parcels for a like-for-like comparison.

Elevated arrays. Active farmland. Two revenue streams on the same hectare.

, For landowners & cooperatives

Co-revenue contracts on the land you already farm.

You keep the crop. We share the energy revenue. The land is more productive than it was before — measurably.

, For developers & investors

Agrivoltaics is a permitting story your community will accept.

Pure ground-mount solar increasingly fails community-consultation hurdles. Agrivoltaics tells a story the consultation committee will sign.
