At the core of this innovation is OET’s advanced OPV technology, engineered to be lightweight, flexible, and up to 99% recyclable. Designed for seamless integration with greenhouses and open-field structures, these OPVs allow for controlled light transmission, (up to 100%)
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) with a dynamic tilting system, while delivering renewable energy and shielding crops from damaging UV radiation.
The impact is transformative. Farmers can see up to a 30% increase in crop yields, thanks to optimized light conditions and improved microclimate, that reduce thermal stress. At the same time, OPV installations reduce water consumption by as much as 30% by minimizing evapotranspiration, supporting sustainable agriculture. Moreover, the system cuts cooling demands significantly, contributing to greater energy efficiency on-site, in-grid and off-grid regions.
Economic benefits are equally compelling. OET’s solutions offer low-cost installation and fast return on investment, while enabling energy autonomy through off-grid capability. Producers not only lower their operating costs but mostly gain additional revenue streams by harvesting both food and electricity from the same land.
OET’s Agri-PV Hub in Thessaloniki, Greece demonstrates this integrated approach in action, featuring OPV-enhanced greenhouses and vineyards. It is a powerful model for the future—one where productivity, sustainability, and profitability grow side by side. OET’s OPVs are not just powering agriculture; they are redefining what land can do.
