Pile driving for an agrivoltaic tracker system by Ylektra in Soest

Part­ner­ing

Invest in German agrivoltaics and storage with Ylektra.

In short

We orig­i­nate land with farm­ers, take projects through zon­ing, per­mit­ting and grid con­nec­tion, and build them. Insti­tu­tion­al investors join at the stage that fits their man­date.

The mar­ket

Why Germany, why now

Ger­many has set bind­ing solar tar­gets, and the land for them increas­ing­ly has to serve farm­ing at the same time.

128 GWSolar installed by August 2026, against a legal tar­get of 215 GW by 2030That requires about 20 GW of new capac­i­ty a year. Ger­many added around 17.5 GW in 2024 and in 2025.
≥ 500 GWTech­ni­cal poten­tial of agri­v­oltaics in Ger­manyAgri­v­oltaics alone could cov­er the expan­sion tar­gets while the land stays in agri­cul­tur­al pro­duc­tion.
1.41 %Agri­v­oltaics’ share of new ground-mount­ed solar in 2025An ear­ly mar­ket: the share has grown about eleven­fold since 2023, from a small base.
720 GWGrid con­nec­tion requests for large bat­ter­iesAt least 78 GW had been grant­ed by Novem­ber 2025. Grid access has become the scarce asset, and sites with a secured con­nec­tion car­ry val­ue.

Our the­sis

Why agrivoltaics with storage

Land with local support

Farm­ing con­tin­ues on at least 85 % of the area. Farm­ers and munic­i­pal­i­ties stay part­ners, which helps zon­ing and per­mit­ting.

More value per grid connection

Stor­age moves mid­day solar into high­er-priced hours and lets one con­nec­tion car­ry more ener­gy and more rev­enue.

More than one route to revenue

EEG ten­ders, pow­er pur­chase agree­ments and mer­chant mod­els. Our Soest project is built out­side the EEG, with the local util­i­ty as off­tak­er.

Close to regulation

We fol­low the EEG 2027 reform from the first draft onwards and engage through BSW-Solar, so our projects are planned for the rules ahead.

FAQ

Questions from investors

As of Octo­ber 2026

How can insti­tu­tion­al investors invest in Ger­man agri­v­oltaics with Ylek­tra?

Investors can acquire projects at ready-to-build or at com­mer­cial oper­a­tion, co-devel­op projects from land secu­ri­ty to per­mit, enter a port­fo­lio part­ner­ship under a frame­work agree­ment, or co-invest in bat­tery stor­age. Each mod­el can be com­bined with Ylek­tra as EPC con­trac­tor.

How large is Ylek­tra’s project pipeline?

Ylek­tra has a pipeline of more than 850 MW of agri­v­olta­ic and hybrid projects on more than 950 hectares of agri­cul­tur­al land in sev­er­al Ger­man fed­er­al states. A detailed overview by stage, state and grid sta­tus is avail­able under NDA.

Can award­ed EEG projects be sold to investors?

Under the gov­ern­ment bill for the EEG 2027, the require­ment that the bid­der must also oper­ate the plant at com­mis­sion­ing no longer applies. This makes it eas­i­er for insti­tu­tion­al investors to acquire projects after the award. The law has not yet been adopt­ed.

Are agri­v­olta­ic projects in Ger­many pos­si­ble with­out EEG sup­port?

Yes, under suit­able con­di­tions. Ylek­tra’s project in Soest-Deir­ingsen (about 5.1 MWp) is built out­side the EEG, with the local util­i­ty as off­tak­er and a grid con­nec­tion shared with a neigh­bour­ing wind farm.

What is the next step for an inter­est­ed investor?

An intro­duc­to­ry call on man­date, tick­et size and pre­ferred stage, fol­lowed by a pipeline overview under NDA, a data room with site vis­its, and a term sheet.
