REGACE webinar on January 29 shows how greenhouses can produce tidy energy while preserving yields and decreasing expenses for farmers.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 20, 2026/ PRNewswire/– The EU is quickly increasing its renewable resource targets, with solar energy playing a main function in accomplishing these objectives. The EU-funded REGACE Job reveals that setting up photovoltaic panels on existing greenhouse structures might offer around 23 percent of the solar capability required throughout Europe with adequate financial investment.
This technique likewise lowers carbon emissions and reduces in advance financial investment expenses compared to conventional ground-mounted planetary systems.
These findings will take spotlight throughout the REGACE last conference, which unites stakeholders from farming, energy, research study, and public authorities. An essential emphasize is the online webinar entitled Agrivoltaics in Greenhouses Turning Sunshine into Energy and Crops, happening on January 29, 2026, from 10:00 to 13:00 CET
The webinar is developed to support farmers, policymakers, scientists, and public authorities trying to find useful and scalable options that line up renewable resource release with sustainable food production.
Research studies reveal that relying primarily on ground-mounted photovoltaic systems might need one to 2 percent of farmland in some nations to satisfy 2030 objectives. By setting up PV panels on existing greenhouse structures, renewable resource can be produced with practically absolutely no extra land usage.
Modelling reveals that in nations such as Israel, Romania, and Croatia, greenhouse-based PV might provide more than 40% of the solar capability needed by 2030. Throughout Europe, the typical contribution reaches 23%.
Conventional open field agrivoltaic systems depend on heavy steel structures and concrete structures, leading to greater carbon footprints and expenses. REGACE greenhouse systems recycle existing frames, lowering iron usage from 103 kgs per kilowatt to 48 kgs. This reduces the carbon footprint from 196 to 84 kgs of CO2 per kilowatt and cuts financial investment expenses by around 24%.
” As Europe look for options that support both food security and environment objectives, greenhouse agrivoltaics sticks out as a useful and scalable alternative,” stated REGACE planner Dr. Ibrahim Yehia of the Alzahrawy Society. “REGACE shows that we can turn existing farming facilities into tidy energy properties, while keeping farms efficient and resistant.”
