800kW Agrivoltaic Farm (Solar + Crops)
Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan · Agricultural cooperative
Modules Supplied
1,250 × JUSTSOLAR TOPCon 640W (elevated mounting)
Challenge
Dual-use requirement: generate electricity for irrigation pumps + cold storage AND grow chilies and turmeric under panels. Elevated structure needed to allow tractor access. Regulatory uncertainty around FIT vs net metering. Water scarcity required reduced evaporation from soil.
Solution
Custom 3.5m elevated mounting system allowing full tractor access beneath panels. TOPCon 640W chosen for large format (fewer mounting points) and 80% bifaciality. Crop selection: chilies (30% shade tolerant), turmeric (50% shade tolerant), ginger (40% shade tolerant). Drip irrigation integrated with mounting posts. Cold storage powered directly by solar during day.
Results
Solar generation: 1,200 MWh/year (100% of projection). Crop yield: 15% higher than full-sun equivalent due to reduced heat stress on peppers. Water usage: 25% lower due to reduced evaporation. Dual revenue stream: electricity $96k/year + crops $42k/year. Total land productivity increased 180% vs conventional farming.
