This data should be valued as a warning for European policymakers and system operators. Europe needs to install around 70 GW a year to meet its 2030 targets.

Despite falling capital costs, largely due to utility-scale solar projects experiencing an average cost reduction of 28% in 2024, EU solar installations are set to reach 65 GW in the coming year.

The EU solar park now totals 338 GW, a fourfold increase from 82 GW a decade ago. The market is expected to add 70 GW in 2025, reflecting a 7% growth rate driven by utility-scale projects initiated over the past two years, which benefited from record-low module prices.

Companies with advanced technological capacity to create these infrastructures, such as Mondragon Assembly, support any action that helps to foster the necessary momentum to achieve sustainability goals by 2030. But it is the role played by European institutions that is key to the growth of renewable energy infrastructures in Europe.

SolarPower Europe, the premier association for the European solar PV sector, unites 320+ organisations. Collaborating with members, we shape regulations and business landscapes for solar’s ​​growth.

SolarPower Europe publishes a comprehensive guide on solar PV. This guide details the basics of solar PV, business models, factors applied to agriculture, environmental factors and examples of real projects. It also calls on European policymakers to increase support for the development of solar PV.

The guide details how to undertake technological implementations, which can represent an increase of up to 60% in crop yields, depending on the type of crop, the season, the regional climate and the PV installation. It also highlights changes in soil temperature, with increases of up to 7°C during cold periods and decreases of up to 6°C during warm periods. The handbook lists additional benefits, including up to an 80% increase in soil carbon storage for solar grazing projects, a 20% to 30% increase in water retention for inter-row and elevated PV systems, and a 60% increase in pollinator presence, as observed in one project.

The handbook details the additional income that agrosolar projects can offer farmers, primarily through land lease payments from solar developers, direct provision of farm infrastructure, or energy bill reductions.

It describes various agrosolar ownership models, business structures, and revenue streams, as well as 10 agrosolar archetypes tailored to different types of farmland.

The report says that advancing agricultural solar requires a framework that links agricultural and energy policies. SolarPower Europe is urging policymakers to clarify that farmers in agricultural solar will maintain access to direct payments from the Common Agricultural Policy.

It is also calling for targeted incentives to encourage farmer participation, streamlined permitting and grid connections for agricultural solar projects, and better data collection on the impact of agricultural solar on carbon storage, water retention and biodiversity.

The suggestions follow a policy paper by SolarPower European and the Nature Conservancy, published in October, calling for a cross-sector EU policy framework to support the development of nature-inclusive solar parks.
In May, SolarPower Europe published a digital map of more than 200 agrivoltaic projects across the continent, following the lead of last year’s best practice guidelines for agrivoltaics.
