- Agri-PV park with dual-use in Veringenstadt, Baden-Württemberg, connected to the grid.
- The park has a nominal capacity of 8.5 megawatt peak and can supply electricity to more than 3,100 three-person households per year.
Bad Staffelstein, 01.07.2025 – IBC SOLAR, a leading full-service provider of solar energy solutions, has completed an agri-solar park with a nominal capacity of 8.5 megawatt peak (MWp) in Baden-Württemberg and successfully connected it to the public power grid. The uniqueness of the project lies in the dual-use of the area and the use of single-axis solar trackers.
Agricultural land use with simultaneous solar power generation – the forward-looking model is now a reality in Veringenstadt. Since April 2025, the agri-photovoltaic system has been connected to the public power grid. The client is wpd GmbH, which commissioned IBC SOLAR last year with the planning, procurement, and construction (EPC). The project will generate around 11 gigawatt hours of electricity per year, supplying more than 3,100 three-person households. With the successful grid connection, the areas of the three sections can now also be used for agricultural purposes.
The special feature of the system lies in innovative single-axis solar trackers that enable dual-use of the area. Due to the flexibly tiltable solar modules between 60 and 90 degrees, the PV system adapts optimally to field management. Farmers can still use more than 85% of the original arable land after the installation of the PV system. They also have sufficient maneuvering space for agricultural machinery.
“With the completion of the agri-solar park in Veringenstadt, we are setting a strong signal for the future of renewable energies. The combination of agriculture and solar power generation shows that sustainable energy production and agricultural use can go hand in hand – a real opportunity for farmers. We are very pleased to have realized this innovative project together with IBC SOLAR,” says Luca Becker, Project Manager Photovoltaics at wpd GmbH.
“We are proud of the successful completion and commissioning of the project,” says Eric Herrmann, Head of EPC at IBC SOLAR. “It is truly a milestone for agri-PV, as the single-axis trackers with the flexible tilt of the modules guarantee optimal adaptation to agricultural use without impairing it. At the same time, high economic efficiency is ensured. This project shows how thoughtful planning and innovative, high-quality components can lead to a sustainable and efficient energy solution.”
