Special features

Crowdinvesting for citizens:inside and investor:inside

The Agri-PV plant with an output of 4.58 MWp is a project by EWS and Energie AG. EWS has offered citizens the opportunity to participate in its part of the plant with around 2.2 MWp and an annual electricity production of 2.8 million kWh. Investors thus become part of the innovative project and actively participate in the realisation of a clean and sustainable energy solution for the future.

The fact that an area is used twice in agrivoltaic systems means that there is no competition with food production. They simply double the revenue from already existing and cultivated areas and increase biodiversity.

An EWS Sonnenfeld is ideally suited for municipalities, energy communities and power farmers.
