The Agri-PV project at Nestlé combines sustainable agriculture with renewable energy, featuring a 4.5 MW PV system that supplies 25% of the site's electricity while preserving grazing land for 65 organic dairy cows. The project facilitates cow grazing under solar panels, providing shade and shelter, and generates long-term income for farmers. It adheres to the DIN SPEC 91434 quality standard and demonstrates improvements in grass growth and livestock adaptation. Challenges included protecting electrical equipment from livestock and ensuring compliance with ISO norms. Feedback highlights benefits to animal welfare and potential for future project enhancements.
