About FDP

India has huge potential to become a global leader in agrivoltaics and set an example for other countries to follow. With its abundant sunlight, large agricultural sector and urgent energy needs, India is an ideal place for the expansion of vertical solar panels and agri-PV systems. Agri-PV systems open up areas for dual use: production of photovoltaic electricity and agricultural crops on the same area. Agri-PV systems therefore provide clean, renewable energy that can be used to power electric vehicles. This is particularly important in rural areas, where there is often a lack of infrastructure to develop electric vehicle charging stations. Farmers can potentially utilize solar energy both for agricultural production and for powering electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
