Agrivoltaics: Producing Clean Energy and Food on the Same Land
Senagrow by The Lightworks combines solar power generation with agricultural production to create more productive, sustainable land use.
Where Architecture Meets Solar Innovation
Agrivoltaics is the combination of agriculture and solar energy production on the same land. Instead of choosing between food and power, agrivoltaic systems allow land to support both.
Through Senagrow, The Lightworks develops solar agriculture systems that can support farms, hotels, resorts, schools, communities, and commercial landowners. These systems can provide clean energy while also supporting food production, shade management, crop protection, and long-term land value.
Agrivoltaics is especially relevant for regions seeking greater energy independence, food security, and climate resilience.
Applications
Solar greenhouses
Farm-based solar systems

FAQ: Building-Integrated Photovoltaics
Agrivoltaics is the use of land for both solar energy generation and agricultural production.
Yes. With the right system design, solar panels can provide partial shade, reduce heat stress, and support certain crops while generating electricity.
Farmers, hospitality venues, schools, communities, landowners, and public sector organisations can benefit from agrivoltaic systems.
Agrivoltaics helps make land more productive by supporting both clean energy generation and food production.
