Session 4: How to Maximise Dual use of Land and Water Surface Potential: Floating solar and Agrivoltaics

Opening part: launch of floating PV report
Multiple use of space is essential to maximise land-use efficiency, mitigate land constraint issues and tackle climate crisis while ensuring
preservation and protection of natural ecosystems. This session will explore the multiple use of land and water potential and discuss the next
steps needed to accelerate the deployment of agrivoltaics and floating PV.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
