Powering Coffee Farms in Angola: Agriphotovoltaics for Energy Access and Climate Resilience
Coffee farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa often lack reliable, affordable electricity, while their crops face increasing climate stress. A Master’s thesis at the Power Systems Laboratory is tackling these challenges by developing the world’s first large-scale agriphotovoltaics concept specifically tailored for Angolan coffee cultivation.
