Solverde Projektentwicklung Gmbh

What Solverde Projektentwicklung Gmbh does

Solverde Projektentwicklung GmbH is a Berlin-based project developer founded in 2020 that builds agri-photovoltaic (Agri-PV) installations and battery energy storage systems (BESS) on agricultural and industrial sites in Germany. The company serves agricultural landowners and farmers (requiring a minimum of 15 ha per project), municipalities and local governments, and owners of industrial or conversion sites (minimum 300 m² for BESS), providing dual-use land arrangements that preserve roughly 90% of farmland for cultivation while generating solar power and stable lease income.

The company's core technology is a proprietary single-axis tracker system designed specifically for Agri-PV: modules follow the sun east-to-west for higher energy yield than fixed-tilt installations, row spacing allows agricultural machinery to pass underneath, and modules can be rotated to a vertical position to facilitate farming operations. Solverde complements Agri-PV with grid-stabilizing BESS that stores excess solar generation and releases it to the grid on demand. The product offering is delivered as a full-cycle project development service covering site identification, planning, permitting, construction, and long-term management.

Solverde's business model is project-based rather than subscription-based: revenue is generated from project development fees, land lease arrangements with farmers, and retained equity in operational projects that are subsequently transferred to long-term owners (e.g., the Solverde Bürgerkraftwerke Energiegenossenschaft). Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven — project managers personally engage landowners, farmers, and municipalities through consulting-led sales with no intermediary channel. A disclosed pipeline includes the 40 MW Schönfeld Agri-PV project in Brandenburg (Satzungsbeschluss June 2025), the 27.5 MW Wangerland project in Lower Saxony (Aufstellungsbeschluss March 2024), and the 10 MW Tauche project in Brandenburg (transferred to the energy cooperative April 2025).

Revenue model

1. Agri-PV Project Development: Development of Agri-Photovoltaic projects on agricultural land, combining solar power generation with continued farming operations. Revenue generated through project development fees, land lease arrangements with farmers, and retained equity in operational projects.
2. Battery Energy Storage (BESS) Project Development: Development and implementation of battery energy storage systems that store excess solar power and release it to the grid as needed, stabilizing electricity supply and balancing grid fluctuations.

Core offering

Solverde Projektentwicklung GmbH develops Agri-Photovoltaik (Agri-PV) projects that combine solar power generation with continued agricultural use on the same land, using single-axis east-west tracker systems designed to allow farming machinery and crops beneath. The company also develops Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that store excess solar power and release it to the grid to stabilize supply and balance fluctuations. Solverde delivers full-cycle project development services from land identification and site assessment through planning, permitting, construction, and long-term project management.

Product overview

Solverde Projektentwicklung GmbH is a project development company offering two integrated product lines: Agri-PV (Agri-Photovoltaik) and Batteriespeicher (BESS). Agri-PV uses single-axis tracker systems to combine solar power generation with agricultural land use, while BESS stores excess solar energy for grid stabilization. These solutions are complemented by comprehensive project development services spanning site identification, planning, permitting, and long-term management. The company develops projects for farmers, land owners, and municipalities in Germany.

Products and services

• Agri-PV (Agri-Photovoltaik) Project Development Agri-Photovoltaik (Agri-PV) project development combining solar power generation with continued agricultural use on the same land parcel, using single-axis east-west tracker systems designed to allow farming machinery passage and crop cultivation beneath the modules. Intended for agricultural landowners, farmers, and municipalities in Germany with suitable land of at least 15 hectares.
• Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project Development Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project development that stores excess solar power from Agri-PV installations and feeds it back to the grid as needed to stabilize electricity supply and balance grid fluctuations. Intended for industrial property owners and operators of renewable energy assets, requiring sites of at least 300 m² with grid connection access.
• Full-Cycle Project Development Services Full-cycle project development services covering land identification, site assessment, planning, permit acquisition, construction, and long-term management for Agri-PV and BESS projects. Intended for landowners, farmers, municipalities, and industrial property owners who require turnkey development support.
