  • Ep.31| Introduction to Agrivoltaics - with Matthew Berwind of Fraunhofer ISE
    Jul 11 2025

    with Matthew Berwind, Scientist at Fraunhofer ISE

    The combination of agriculture and solar energy elements ranks among my favourite PV applications. Thus, going to Agrivoltaics World Conference was a no-brainer for me. Luckily, I could convince the excellent Matthew Berwind to join me for this episode of OTT CAST.

    Agrivoltaics, or Agri-PV includes a wide range of concepts. Whether it's sheep between module rows or valuable fruit crop protected by overhead installations; the potential of leveraging mutual benefits is enormous.

    In this episode, Matthew gives an introduction to Agrivoltaics, and he mentions some challenges that he and his peers are currently doing research on. Don't miss this one!

  • Ep.29| Road to Intersolar: PV Market Trends Overview with Craig Plaatjes
    May 6 2025

    with Craig Plaatjes, Global Product Manager at OTT HydroMet

    It's that time of the year - Intersolar is opening its gates and people from all over the world gather in Munich to present and explore the latest developments, trends, and build networks within the solar energy industry.

    Before packing their bags for Europe's biggest PV event, our host Martin Maly, Sales Manager for Central & Eastern Europe, sat down with Craig Plaatjes, Global Product Manager, to look at some recent market reports and how they stand against the real development.

    Craig's summary after checking various sources that cover the next five years: While some regions are expecting a slower growth (compare episode 28 with Market Analyst Cormac Gilligan), the world's appetite for renewable energy remains unsatisfied. It's pushed additionally by the realization of hybrid applications including dual land-use, other energy sources and/or storage.

    For more information, stop by our booth at B3.374 in Messe Munich. The event takes place from May 7-9. Craig and Martin are happy to welcome you there and show you around the premium suite of meteorological instruments from Kipp & Zonen and Lufft.
