The pilot agrivoltaic project serves as a foundational step in demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of integrating solar energy systems with traditional farming practices.

Steps
  • Locations: Strategically chosen farming regions across Nigeria that represent diverse agricultural and environmental conditions.
  • Goals: To optimize land use by combining food production with renewable energy generation, ensuring both increased agricultural output and clean energy access for rural communities.
  • Expected Outcomes:
  • Increase crop yields by 15–20% through efficient land use and shading benefits provided by solar panels.
  • Generate 10 megawatts of renewable energy to power farms and nearby communities.
  • Reduce water consumption by up to 30%, promoting efficient irrigation systems.
Pilot Project

This pilot project is a stepping stone toward scaling agrovoltaic technology across Nigeria, offering a practical model for addressing food and energy needs.
