Additional info
The key idea behind the Next2Sun investment concept is the vertical placement of special solar modules, which can utilize solar radiation from both sides. The bifacial modules faces east and west. This means that electricity is generated primarily in the morning and evening.
The areas between the Agri-PV module rows can be used for agricultural purposes as usual. The resulting flower strips continue to offer space, especially for the endangered world of insects and many bird species.
Our agri-photovoltaic systems are particularly nature and agriculture-friendly and achieve high yields.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Energy production (usable everywhere)
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
