Grow More, Save More by Going Solar via PM Kusum

Upar Bijli Niche Krishi

Agrivoltaics, also called AgriPV, is the innovative practice of combining solar power generation with agriculture on the same land. Solar panels are mounted in a way that allows crops to grow underneath or between them, ensuring farmers can earn a dual income from farming and solar energy.

Best suited for farmlands, semi-arid regions, and rural India
Supports India’s renewable energy & food security goals
Reduces land-use conflicts

PM KUSUM Scheme is a central government initiative to promote solar energy in agriculture. Benefits of the scheme include a subsidy of up to 60% of the project cost, savings in energy costs, increased income for farmers, and better irrigation facilities. Individual farmers, cooperatives, panchayats, and farmers’ producer organisations can install these solar plants.
