Agri-PV has the potential to be a win-win for renewables, agriculture and other sustainability dimensions. An EU wide Agri-PV definition is needed. A related standard at European level would be helpful. The primary use of Agri-PV should be agriculture. “Greenwashing” of agri-PV must be avoided. Farmers need to be at the centre of Agri-PV. Geospatial planning, potential fast-track applications and the identification of preferred Agri-PV zones could facilitate the permitting procedures. More consistent approaches for Agri-PV projects will enhance its public acceptance. Communication is important. Agri-PV projects should be recognised and promoted in the agricultural context and through the Member State strategic CAP plans. Agri-PV technology has developed significantly but needs to be further strengthened through R&D and pilot schemes.
