This brief summarizes the findings of the Responsible Agri-PV Baseline Assessment conducted by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) under the Responsible Energy Initiative (REI) India. The study examines an institutional agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) pilot implemented by Renkube Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU).
The primary focus of this assessment is to evaluate the feasibility of co-locating solar power generation with active agriculture in the semi-arid, water-stressed conditions typical of Telangana.
The pilot features a 10.8 kWp elevated Agri-PV system installed at PJTSAU’s experimental farm in Hyderabad.
The results demonstrate that an “agriculture-first” design can achieve high performance across both energy and food outputs.
The Renkube-PJTSAU pilot provides compelling evidence that Agri-PV can enhance land productivity and water security while supporting Telangana’s renewable energy transition. However, to transition from pilot to widespread adoption, the following “enablers” are required:
