Solar generation & the density frontier

One slider governs the trade. Pack the panels tighter and energy revenue climbs while the canopy darkens; open the rows and the crops breathe. The curve below finds where the combined estate earns most.

Specific yield (structure-adj.)

Reference case: 100 ha cultivable, floor-priced PPA at €90/MWh per the downside risk evaluation, 12.5% Cyprus corporate tax applied downstream of EBITDA. Merchant mode applies an 85% capture-rate haircut to the DAM average. The shaded zone marks densities where modelled crop yield falls below 80% of open-field reference — the threshold at which the installation ceases to qualify as agrivoltaic under DIN SPEC 91434 and the French agrivoltaics decree. The optimum shown is the best consolidated EBITDA inside the qualifying range. All figures indicative — calibrate specific yield against the 8760-hour TMY simulation before investor use.
