Agrovoltaics: Harvesting solar energy in the Mediterranean

This groundbreaking report prepared by Renewable Energy Solutions for Africa (RES4Africa) examines the policy and legal landscape concerning the installation of photovoltaic systems on agricultural lands, focusing specifically on Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon. The report outlines six key actions that can guide the successful implementation of agrivoltaics in these nations. This report recognises the pressing need to address competing demands for water, energy, and food in the Mediterranean region and advocates integrating solar photovoltaic systems with agriculture. By harmonising these sectors, RES4Africa believes it is possible to overcome land-use competition, enhance resource efficiency, and help countries achieve their renewable energy targets through thorough research and best practices.
