Solar canopy over German blueberry field goes live

Original: Nearly 12,000 solar panels raised 10 to 13 feet over a blueberry field went live in eastern Germany, set high enough for farm machinery to pass underneath, and before the first post went in, ordnance crews pulled hand grenades out of the soil the bushes now

A new agrivoltaic installation in eastern Germany has gone live, placing nearly 12,000 solar panels 10 to 13 feet above a blueberry field so farm machinery can work underneath. Before construction, ordnance crews removed hand grenades from the soil beneath the bushes. The project highlights growing interest in combining solar power generation with active farming in Germany.

Why now: The unusual combination of agriculture, elevated solar panels and wartime ordnance clearance makes the project striking news
