Agrivoltaics Lecture Series

As part of our Agrivoltaics Lecture Series national and international experts from research, economy, politics and agriculture report on various aspects of agrivoltaics. The online-event is presented by Fraunhofer ISE in cooperation with the German Association for Sustainable Agrivoltaics (Verband für nachhaltige Agri-PV, VnAP). This partnership aims to foster a stronger connection between science and practice, while raising greater awareness of the opportunities that agrivoltaics offers. In addition to discussing the latest scientific developments, we will also address the specific challenges encountered during the implementation of agrivoltaics.

Further Information about the Lecture Series

The Agrivoltaics Lecture Series takes place every Thursday from 1 to 2 pm. After the experts' lecture, you can ask questions, which will then be discussed. In addition to discussing the latest scientific developments, we also look at the specific challenges involved in implementing agrivoltaics.

CFD Modelling of Vertical Agrivoltaic Systems: Assessing Wind and Radiation Impacts on Agricultural Environments in Scania

Date: 29/01/2026 - 1 pm (CET)

Speaker: Janeck Opolka, Lund University

Language: English

Scania, Southern Sweden, is characterized by high precipitation and significant wind loads across large agricultural plains, conditions suited for the implementation of vertical, bifacial agrivoltaic systems. This presentation evaluates the region’s potential while investigating the microclimatic impacts of these installations, focusing on wind flow patterns and temperature distribution. Furthermore, the session will detail the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology employed to simulate these complex environmental interactions.
