Vertical solar tech to revolutionize agriculture

Yashika Energy Systems, Next2Sun Germany, and Wattkraft India have formed a significant partnership, signing an MoU during the RE-INVEST 2024 event in Gujarat. This collaboration brings Next2Sun's vertical bifacial solar technology to India, addressing the challenge of land usage in solar projects. By allowing dual land use, this system supports agricultural activity while generating renewable energy, enhancing both agricultural productivity and clean energy production. Pilot projects, ranging from 100 kWp to 500 kWp, are set to be launched nationwide, showcasing this innovative solution's impact across various regions.

The initiative is backed by government support from both India and Germany and aims to revolutionize how energy is produced on agricultural land. The partnership's focus on sustainability aligns with India's broader renewable energy goals, including reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and achieving significant emission reductions by 2030 under the "Panchamrit" pledge. This project marks an important step towards sustainable energy solutions, helping India meet its growing energy needs without compromising its agricultural foundation. The MoU signing was witnessed by key officials, emphasizing the importance of this initiative in driving the nation’s renewable energy agenda forward.
