L:TEC® Agri PV: the future's clean and green

Get twice as much productivity from the same land.

Our innovative Agri PV solution is taking the solar tracker industry to new heights.

Based on our globally successful L:TEC® tracker, the Agri PV solution is designed around our patented locked drive technology while benefitting from increased array height to cater to the agricultural needs of the land. Agri PV is designed to meet and exceed the standards established by DIN SPEC 91434, which requires specialized planning, operation, documentation, and operational monitoring, as well as considering light intensity and light distribution below the Agri PV system. The demand for agrivoltaic systems is growing exponentially – let's talk about your next project.

Agri PV is explicitly designed to meet the needs of both the energy and agricultural sectors.

L:TEC® Agri PV draws its core components from the wildly successful L:TEC® 2P tracker platform. Being a fully modular system, Agri PV can adapt to any specific requirements the land manager may have, including a standard array height of 2.8m and row spacing of 11m (or as per your requirements). Agri PV is capable of up to 60° tracking range and 70° harvest mode, ensuring the tracker and panels never interfere with the overall agricultural process from planting to harvesting. With multiple proven real-world installations, Agri PV is the only choice for actual dual-use land with solar applications.

The beating heart of L:TEC technology is the locking drive sprocket and decoupled drive transmission.

When locked in position, loads are transferred from the tracker and the sensitive solar panels to the tracker foundations, ensuring reliable and repeatable positioning. Keeping the drivetrain and supported panels decoupled reduces mechanical loading on the entire tracker structure. We put our money where our mouth is – exhaustive testing and real-world installations have proven that the L:TEC platform is the industry's most efficient and advanced tracker.

We know that significant investment comes with matching responsibility, so we've developed our unique stowing strategy to protect your investment from high-wind events. We've tested our trackers exhaustively in wind tunnels and real-world applications – these tests have proven that our trackers, combined with our stow strategy, reduce system stresses by up to 50%, even in winds of up to 205 kph. Flat stow is the key to protection during high winds, and also permits maximum power generation.

We ensure every project produces its peak power by using our smart software suite

During the planning stage, our in-house developed, vertically integrated project planning software automates critical design processes, significantly reducing the time required to produce a fully designed project. Specifically designed for Agri PV, our ID-Aurora software allows for agricultural-specific operating modes to ensure efficient, unhindered harvesting, mowing and fertilization. ID-Aurora takes data from weather sensors as well as site location, site altitude, and tracker position sensors to move the trackers automatically into the safest and most efficient position. You'll never wonder what your system is doing – ID-Aurora will keep you updated with automatic alerts and warnings.
