Written Answers
Solar Power: Agriculture Asked by: Earl Russell (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Monday 13th April 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what research and support mechanisms they are providing to develop the agrivoltaics sector; and what assessment they have made of its potential contribution to energy generation and agricultural productivity. Answered by Lord Whitehead - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government closely follows developments in the agrivoltaics sector, and supports innovative technologies, including through initiatives funded by UK Research and Innovation. In the Solar Roadmap, Government and industry committed to explore future research and demonstration opportunities for agrivoltaic systems. Although the technology is fairly nascent in the UK, the Government believes that it can play an important role in the decarbonisation of agriculture (for example, where panels are arranged around a field). The technology also has the potential to ensure that land is used efficiently, by maximising agricultural output on land devoted to solar generation.
