 The two agrivolatics systems installed in the course of this project are among the first in Benin and therefore display a strong pilot character. With some experience, agrivoltaics creates the potential of using one piece of land twice – for the production of renewable electricity as well as for agricultural use. Centre Songhaï, with its network of 5,200 farmers and numerous apprentices each year, ensures that the knowledge gained on this technology reaches as many people as possible. The potential of replication and further dissemination of agrivoltaics in the region is high.

-|GBE project description=Centre Songhaï is a training institution promoting agricul�tural entrepreneurship and sustainable farming practices in West Africa. ESF is a voluntary organisation supporting sustainable access to electricity and water worldwide. For this project, both organisations combine their individual expertise in agricultural practices and renewable energy technologies to design and install two dual-use PV systems (agrivoltaics). The aim of the project is to showcase the benefits and economic potential to farmers. The first system, comprised of two distinct solar PV layouts (15 kWp each), is installed at the premises of Centre Songhai in Porto-No�vo. It is used to experiment with different crops and serves as a demonstration site for the thousands of visitors that the centre receives every year. A second system (10 kWp) is installed at one of Songhaï’s flagship farms in Agbang�nizoun, in Benin’s Zou region. Throughout the project, the implementing organisations collect data to determine the conditions for replication and scale-up. The potentials of the approach are (1) to decrease competition around arable land; (2) to lower the water demand for cultivation of crops by providing shade and powering efficient solar irrigation systems; (3) to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels and support energy autonomy; and (4) to increase agricultural productivity and thereby income.
