Vietnam has launched its first dedicated research project integrating solar energy with agriculture, aiming to enhance farmers’ incomes while advancing the country’s clean energy goals. The initiative, called the Agri-PV project, was officially inaugurated in Hà Nội on Tuesday by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE) in collaboration with the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ).

This marks the country’s first solar energy project focused specifically on rural households and farming, combining crop cultivation with solar power generation to deliver economic and environmental benefits.

The Agri-PV project is set to deploy at least 10 pilot models of solar-powered agricultural plants during its three-year implementation period from 2025 to 2027. These pilots will provide essential data on how farmers can effectively combine crop production and solar energy generation for greater income stability and land use efficiency.

The initiative also aims to enhance policy development by improving the knowledge of 65% of 20 key policy and sector representatives regarding agri-solar’s current status and potential in Vietnam.
