PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
Population growth and rising energy demand put pressure on achieving GHG emissions targets. Regarding energy production at least 32% should come from renewable sources by 2030. This requires a total installed capacity of 600 GWp. To meet this target the implementation of large scale PV is crucial. EU LEAD-PV offers a smart and effective climate change mitigation approach by implementing large scale PV in arable farming, such that land use is efficient and social acceptance of large scale PV is high. For the farmer the advantage is extra, steady income and indications are that the wind barrier created by the PV panels has advantages for crop growing. EU LEAD-PV offers an innovative solution in the following ways:
1) EU LEAD-PV offers a climate change mitigation solution that can be rolled out quickly in large areas of the EU
2) EU LEAD-PV offers a solution for efficient land use
3) EU LEAD-PV's financing model supports large scale implementation and offers farmers a stable income
4) EU LEAD-PV has possible cultivation benefits
