What does the company do? Feld Energy develops, builds, and operates Agri-PV systems that use farmland twice: crops grow below or between solar panels that generate electricity. Farmers gain extra income, while the panels can shield plants from intense sun and cut evaporation.
Why now? The round builds on a seed raise of more than €10 million in September 2025, also led by HV Capital. Rabo Investments is the only new name; every prior investor returned.
What's the money for? Feld Energy plans to deliver more projects in Germany and prepare entry into additional Agri-PV markets. It is leaning on AI for site selection, permitting, and optimisation, plus solar trackers and battery storage to improve project economics.
What's new with the product? Alongside the funding, Feld Energy launched Feld Energy Invest, a subsidiary led by Jonas G. Kaczmarczyk that lets private and institutional investors put money directly into a managed portfolio of Agri-PV projects. It points to fixed EEG payments over 20 years and possible tax advantages. Early backers include Flix founders Jochen Engert, André Schwämmlein, and Daniel Krauss.
What could go wrong? German projects face lengthy permitting and planning processes, and subsidy conditions remain uncertain. The new platform moves Feld Energy from pure development toward an integrated financing and operations model — a bigger, more complex business to run.
The signal: "For us, the question is no longer whether Agri-PV works. The decisive question is how fast we can scale," said co-founder and chief executive officer Adrian Renner (translated from German). The deal shows rising interest in dual-use solar, but Europe's market still hinges on reliable project financing and dependable revenue models.
