Locally led Agri-PV in India: Opportunities and Risks

​This panel discussion will explore the emerging landscape of Agri-PV (Agrivoltaics) in India, focusing on local, community-driven initiatives. With India’s growing need for sustainable energy sources and efficient land use, Agri-PV offers a promising solution that integrates solar power generation with agriculture, enabling dual land use and potential benefits for rural communities.

​The session will bring together experts and practitioners from the fields of renewable energy, agriculture, policy, and community development. Panelists will discuss opportunities presented by Agri-PV, including enhancing rural income, promoting energy security, and fostering local entrepreneurship. Additionally, the panel will address key risks and challenges, such as land use conflicts, environmental impacts, financing hurdles, and technology adoption barriers. The discussion aims to shed light on the ways Agri-PV can contribute to India's renewable energy and agricultural sustainability goals, while highlighting strategies to mitigate potential risks and ensure that local communities are empowered to lead and benefit from these projects.

​Join us for an insightful dialogue on how Agri-PV can become a viable, locally-driven solution for India's energy and agricultural future.
