What happened
Axpo, the canton of Aargau, and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture began construction of an agri-photovoltaics research facility in Suhr. The facility is designed to boost agriculture using solar power and is expected to have a capacity of 600 kilowatt-peak. Emmi, a Swiss dairy foods processor, will use all the electricity generated by the solar modules directly on site.

Why it matters
The project combines agricultural use with solar power generation on the same land, covering 279 acres. Researchers are comparing the effects of the solar installation on crop yield, biodiversity, and water flow, while also investigating how crops react to drought conditions.
