The Framework for AgriPV DPR Development by TERI provides a comprehensive, end-to-end guide for planning and implementing agrivoltaic (AgriPV) projects in India, where solar power generation is integrated with agricultural activities on the same land. Designed to support developers, policymakers, and farming communities, the framework outlines a structured five-dimensional approach covering site feasibility, system design, financial planning, governance models, and long-term operations. It emphasizes farmer-centric, place-based solutions that maintain agricultural productivity while delivering clean energy and additional income streams. By standardizing the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), the framework aims to reduce risks, enable informed decision-making, and accelerate the adoption of AgriPV systems as a sustainable pathway to address India’s dual goals of energy transition and agricultural resilience.
