Photovoltaik auf dem Acker? - Ein Positionspapier

Summary

Germany faces the challenge of rapidly expanding photovoltaic (PV) capacity to meet climate goals, which creates conflicts with land use, particularly agricultural areas. The Umweltbundesamt (UBA) proposes prioritizing PV installation on buildings and sealed surfaces. For ground-mounted PV, the UBA recommends using pre-stressed or less ecologically valuable agricultural land, with a focus on ecological improvement and efficient land use like Agri-PV. This initiative is in progress, with clear expansion targets and recommendations for sustainable implementation.
