SunFarming

Our path to a real impact

Unlike a traditional solar plant that employs very few people, a SUNfarming plant creates additional sustainable jobs.
We create new jobs not only in food production and distribution but also in training. These new jobs result in a significantly greater economic and social impact.
The entire investment is financed with the electric injection fee. This means that all income from agricultural and training activities is additional to the local economy.

A proven formula

We have installed solar plants, including power plants with a total capacity of more than 600 MWp.
We know how to manage the entire process, including project development, financing, procurement, import / export, logistics, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance.

The Food & Energy concept

  • Compared to normal solar plants, SUNfarming's award-winning Food and Energy Training Centers (F&E) provide 70 times more jobs and 100% more food and education to the local population.

  • Our plants are designed to increase row-to-row distance, raised panels, glass-glass modules and special meshes between rows. This allows for horticulture between the rows and under the panels.

  • SUNfarming's Food & Energy Hands-on Training Program develops a locally trained and educated workforce

  • These unique characteristics resulted in the added value of the concept, assessed as "excellent" by an SRQ impact study co-funded by DEG.

More food due to state-of-the-art technology and partnership concept

More jobs because jobs are held during the operational phase

Improved technology transfer and more training given to the local population.
