ABOUT
Advancing Agrivoltaics for a Sustainable Future
We envision a future where agrivoltaic systems are integral to global agricultural practices, providing dual benefits of solar energy generation and agricultural production. Our goal is to establish agrivoltaics as a cornerstone of climate-smart agriculture, enhancing food security, sustainability, and the well-being of farmers and communities worldwide.
AAPI Working Groups
INITIATIVE
WG1:Evidence & Capacity-Building
Leading scientists, researchers, and practitioners from Africa and around the world help AAPI country members advance agrivoltaic research and innovation, including the first Handbook of African Agrivoltaics, planned for Q3 2026. WG1 also supports research and pilot projects across Africa, providing AAPI country members with the expertise and data needed to build confidence among farmers, investors, and other stakeholders.
WG2:Finance & Investments
WG3:AgriPV Value Chains
Experts in development finance, energy and food markets, and the African private sector help AAPI Member countries build viable agrivoltaic markets through innovative blended-finance approaches. WG2 works to establish agrivoltaics as a new asset class and develop financial products that accelerate business growth, jobs and livelihoods, and food, water, and energy security.
WG3 focuses on growing agrivoltaics markets alongside productive uses of solar energy, including cold-chain development, solar-powered irrigation, and value-added agricultural processing. The group brings together farmers, solar developers, equipment manufacturers and marketers, and other private-sector actors across the agrivoltaics value chain to foster collaboration and market growth.
MEMBERSHIP
How to join AAPI
Membership in AAPI is open to any African country, or donor country, willing to put in place the domestic policies and regulations needed to allow agrivoltaics to thrive. Specifics can be found in the Terms of Reference describing the Platform.
