REGACE Partners, representing 12 organizations from five different countries, gather at the greenhouses of Trisolar. Participants got a first-hand impression of how REGACE’s cost-effective agrivoltaic technology use if CO2 enrichment to sustainably increase greenhouses yields and improve electricity production. The PV tracking system solution revolutionise traditional food growing areas into full participants in the renewable circular energy economy. Further, Instead of large, anonymous external firms creating PV deserts in rural areas, each greenhouse owner can become a stakeholder selling clean energy. This creates new value chains of food growers who become an important part of the energy economy, creating solar energy jobs in farm economy regions. The REGACE project is dedicated to developing an innovative Agrivoltaics technology that uses CO2 enrichment to sustainably increase greenhouses yields and improve electricity production.

REGACE coordinator Dr. Ibrahim Yehia of the Alzahrawi Society opens the three-day kickoff meeting of the EU-funded project. He spoke about the activity of this R&D center, which operates 15 research centers. Following Dr. Esther Magadley of the Alzahrawi Society who initiated the REGACE Project explained how crop responsive solar tracking can optimize light, humidity and temperature levels in greenhouses.
