Based on the present results, the Hexa-Cover covering system meets the requirements for the award of the test mark DLG APPROVED with regard to the test criteria “Ammonia and odour emission reduction”.
The next DLG Field Days will take place from 20 to 22 June 2028 in North Hesse. The venue is the Hessian State Estate at Beberbeck, near Kassel/ Germany
For decentralized energy supply, EU farmers place their greatest hopes in energy storage, flexible biogas plants, and agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) as key technologies for the energy transition.
A research project involving the engineering firm SPV Sonneburg, Geisenheim University and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) is currently testing a mobile photovoltaic system designed specifically for viticulture.
The German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) has examined how the expansion of photovoltaics in Germany can progress in an environmentally friendly way. Agri-PV plays an important role in this.
Agri-PV brings together the best of agriculture and solar power generation. The question remains: how do solar installations influence land management and crop yields? Early findings suggest that the benefits are measurable.
Some alternatives are already ready for the market - for example, fully electric tractors. Large tractors and harvesters, on the other hand, are still dependent on liquid fuels. But which ones? There are still many unanswered questions and a number of hurdles that need to be overcome.
In the run-up to the EnergyDecentral trade fair in Hanover in November 2024, the DLG asked German farmers in its most recent DLG Practice
Monitor – a survey on farmers’ opinion on practical farming issues - how they assess on-farm photovoltaic power stations and agrivoltaics.
