Thin-film manufacturer Ascent Solar has received positive feedback from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for its agrivoltaics technology, and the company will now apply for funding for the development of a proposed agrivoltaics system.
The statement comes off the back of a report from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) analysing the potential and challenges for AgriPV in the European market.
Interest in agrivoltaics (agriPV) in the US has started to grow among several developers PV Tech spoke to at the RE+ solar and storage trade event in Las Vegas last week.
