Fraunhofer ISE and the weather protection provider VOEN are testing a system that does not have its own substructures. Instead, the modules are placed on the weather protection systems required for special crops such as fruit.An unconventional system for agri-photovoltaics is currently being tested on a cherry growing area in Upper Swabia.
