Brite Solar will participate in the IV AgroLight Forum on November 4, 2026, in Budapest, Hungary, where Founder and CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos will present the company's innovative approach to agrivoltaics and the integration of solar energy into agricultural environments.

The event will take place at the Buda Campus of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), bringing together professionals and experts interested in the future of agricultural lighting, energy efficiency, and sustainable farming technologies.

Advancing Agrivoltaics Through Innovation

As part of the forum's program, Dr. Nick Kanopoulos will deliver a presentation titled "Crop Specific Solar Panels for Optimized Agri-PV Deployment" at 12:25 PM.

The presentation will explore how advanced solar technologies can be adapted to the specific requirements of different crops, supporting agricultural productivity while generating renewable electricity.

Brite Solar's patented nanotechnology-based Agri-PV solutions are designed to combine agricultural cultivation and solar energy production on the same land. Through a specialized nanocoating, the company's semi-transparent solar glass converts part of the ultraviolet light into red light, which can contribute to plant photosynthesis. The technology also allows different levels of light transmission, enabling solutions to be adapted to specific cultivation requirements.

Supporting More Resilient Agricultural Production

Agriculture faces increasing challenges related to extreme weather conditions, water availability, and energy costs. Brite Solar's Agri-PV technology aims to address these challenges through a multifunctional approach that combines:

  • Renewable energy generation: Producing electricity while maintaining agricultural activity.
  • Crop protection: Providing an overhead structure that can help protect crops against certain adverse weather conditions, depending on the installation design.
  • Optimized light transmission: Adapting the amount of light reaching crops to their specific requirements.
  • Water management: Creating shading conditions that may help reduce irrigation requirements in suitable applications.

These capabilities make agrivoltaics a promising solution for both greenhouse cultivation and open-field agriculture.

Connecting Agricultural Innovation and Renewable Energy

The IV AgroLight Forum provides an opportunity to exchange knowledge and explore technological developments at the intersection of agriculture, lighting, and energy.

Brite Solar's participation reflects its commitment to developing innovative solutions that support sustainable agricultural practices and the transition toward clean energy.

We look forward to connecting with industry professionals, researchers, and agricultural stakeholders in Budapest on November 4, 2026.
