Agrivoltaics‘ bigger picture and Europe’s impact: The role of policy for solar PV and agrivoltaics in the African landscape today

Germany is experiencing a significant shift towards renewable energy solutions for the home sector.

EUPD Reaserch's second part of the short study takes a closer look at German homeowners who have invested in or are planning to invest in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and charging stations.

Poland’s solar market is evolving, with a shift to large-scale projects and a rising focus on storage solutions.

German installers play a key role in the energy transition, shaping the future of solar, wind, and efficient heating systems.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
