GRAMMA – Green

Asset Management The Effective Photovoltaic Greenhouse

Philip Prause – Co-Founder and Executive Director

22-23 Oct 2015, TBB Berlin

The Problem – Farming model under pressure

2 GRAMMA Green Asset Management

Farming margins (particularly in

Europe) have come under pressure

due to:

• Higher input costs (among tem

energy)

• Lower prices

Integrating energy production with

agriculture could be a solution...

...But not at the expense of the

farming activity

The Idea – Photovoltaic Greenhouse

3 GRAMMA Green Asset Management

Photovoltaic (“PV”) greenhouses

could be a solution through:

• Electricity production

• Cost synergies

• Increased agricultural production as

compared to open field

But....

Existing PV greenhouses (only competitor

today) do not work

The Solution – The Effective PV Greenhouse

(EU patent 2 294 910 A1)

design allows for:

• >90% of available light reaching

the cultivated surface

• High power density with ca.

1MWp/Ha of greenhouse

• Lowest cost solution as
