Webinar: an international community for agrivoltaic research and innovation in arid and hyper-arid deserts

The webinar — the launch meeting of an international community for agrivoltaic research and innovation in arid and hyper-arid deserts — will take place on Wednesday, 14 October, at 13:00.

The southern Arava is a natural research lab for developing agrivoltaic solutions in hyper-arid desert conditions. Combining agriculture with solar energy opens up new opportunities, but calls for new knowledge and collaboration between researchers, academia, research centres and industry.

We are building an international community of researchers in desert agrivoltaics: a platform for sharing knowledge, connecting experts, advancing joint research and discovering research and innovation opportunities.
