Can crops be grown under solar cells? This is what a new Innovation Fund Denmark project will investigate, where researchers from Aarhus University, among others, will link the cultivation of agricultural crops and solar parks.
The dairy and crop farm, which is nestled in Egtved, a small Danish town in the Vejle Municipality of Southern Denmark, is now powered 30% by solar energy. The project cost DKK 600,000 and Johansen plans to repay the bank loan he took to fund the project over the next six to seven years.
Regenerative agriculture is one of the most effective ways to lower Denmark''s CO 2 e footprint and improve the sustainability of its agriculture sector. BCG''s analysis shows that widespread implementation could potentially abate about 4 megatons of CO 2 e per year by 2035—roughly 10% of the country''s total 2022 emissions.

Flakkebjerg Solar Park is a joint project between European Energy, Aarhus University, Copenhagen University and Slagelse municipality, and funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, to test the combination of solar power and crop growth in a shared space.
Solar power provided 1.4 TWh, or the equivalent of 4.3% [ 14 ] or 3.6% of Danish electricity consumption in 2021. [ 15 ] In 2018, the number was 2.8 percent. [ 16 ] Denmark has lower solar insolation than many countries closer to Equator, but lower temperatures increase production. Modern solar cells decrease production by 0.25% per year.
Projections of future capacity have continued to increase; a total of 9,000 MW (9 GW) is expected to be installed by 2030. [ 7 ] Many solar-thermal district heating plants exist and are planned in Denmark. [ 8 ] Solar power provided 1.4 TWh, or the equivalent of 4.3% [ 14 ] or 3.6% of Danish electricity consumption in 2021. [ 15 ]
More than two-thirds of Denmark’s renewable energy comes from bioenergy, which is energy stored in organic material or biomass. Agriculture is big business in Denmark, and it indirectly helps provide energy too, with manure, animal fats, and straw used as the basis for biogas and liquid biofuels.

Moreover, bioenergy plays an important role in the Danish energy system. Clean energy is a Danish passion. Today, 50 per cent of electricity in Denmark is supplied by wind and solar power. Wind energy is well-established in Denmark, which long ago decided to put the Danish climate’s constant breezes and blusters to practical use.
There is a strong focus on securing sustainable biomass in Denmark. The world’s top innovators in wind energy include the Danish company Vestas and Siemens Gamesa, which has Danish roots. Together these two companies had a share of almost a third of global wind turbine installations in 2018, according to GlobalData (preliminary results).
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation.
