Solar for Greenhouses & Plot A

A solar energy system

why is it worth it?

Helping farmers across the country profit from dual use of greenhouses and plot A. Now that the Israel Land Authority has given its approval, the financial potential of your land grows further and advanced solar systems can be built in plot A. We make sure the land is used to its best advantage and let you earn from the sun – an immediate saving and high returns over the long term

A better annual income - turning agricultural land (greenhouses and plot A) into a passive income with high long-term returns, whether for a pension or family savings

Close personal support from start to finish - we are with you the whole way, from the site survey and land planning through to monitoring and support after installation

Building in plot A in line with Israel Land Authority approvals - we match your system to the latest changes, which allow up to one solar dunam on agricultural land in plot A

Full management of the licensing process - we save you the bureaucracy and handle every approval with the Israel Land Authority and the electric company, including permits for the greenhouses

Fast, professional installation by Rotem Energy's own certified crew - our experts make sure the system is installed efficiently and runs optimally, for high returns and the fullest use of your solar system

Panels, inverters and distribution boards with a standard mark and strict quality control

Good news for farmers in Israel - profit from land that is not being used

Dual use of greenhouses and plot A with a solar system, through a fast and simple process

Good news for farmers in Israel

Owners of agricultural land can now earn a high, meaningful return by installing advanced solar systems on areas of up to one dunam within plot A, thanks to eased regulation and the long-awaited approval from the Israel Land Authority. Solar systems can also be installed on greenhouses with no limit on area, which means dual use of the same land. This is an enormous financial opportunity to turn agricultural land into a profitable, long-term passive income with a minimum of red tape

What is a solar system in plot A and how does it work?

What is a solar system in plot A?

Following the reforms led by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, significant easements came into force in 2024 allowing owners of agricultural land to build photovoltaic systems on areas of up to one dunam in plot A. This is part of the national effort to raise renewable energy generation in Israel to 30% by 2030

What can a solar system on one dunam of land produce?

What can the solar system produce?

Installing a solar system on one dunam of land allows generation of between 100 and 150 kilowatts, depending on the characteristics of the land and the type of system (fixed, or with sun-tracking mounts). The electricity produced is sold to the electric company at particularly attractive tariffs, under a 25-year power purchase agreement. It is a stable, passive income that secures returns over time while making full use of the land

The conditions for building a solar system in plot A

Conditions for building in plot A

The land must be regularized: the farmstead has to be in order, with no building violations
Area: a solar system in plot A has to be built on an area of up to one dunam. Further solar systems can be built on roofs and greenhouses with no limit on area
Location of the system: the solar system has to sit next to a residential building or an approved farm building
Dual use: the system can be built on a raised mounting so that the land stays in agricultural use and crops can carry on growing underneath, or the space can be used for something else such as parking beneath the raised system

The advantages of a solar system

A worthwhile financial return: the generation tariff starts at 42 agorot per kWh and goes up, with the investment recouped within seven years under a 25-year agreement with the electric company
Putting unused land to work: agricultural land becomes an ongoing, profitable source of income
Dual use of the land: the system can be combined with existing farming activity or other uses of the area
Better for the environment: a contribution to green energy generation in Israel and to the national targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions

Solar systems on greenhouses - another energy opportunity for your land

Solar systems on greenhouses

Beyond the option of building solar systems in plot A, there is a significant opportunity to generate solar power on agricultural greenhouses with a high return. Greenhouses are built across wide areas and allow efficient installation of photovoltaic systems that turn sunlight into electricity, making your land a productive energy asset

The advantages of a solar system on greenhouses

Maximum use of existing space: greenhouses offer wide roofs and large areas that allow high-capacity solar systems to be installed without disrupting day-to-day farming
Farming and energy together: a solar system installed on a greenhouse allows dual use of the area – generating electricity while farming carries on beneath the panels. The technology is advanced enough to keep conditions inside the greenhouse ideal for the crops while generating electricity efficiently
Stable, long-term income: generating electricity from a solar system on greenhouses lets landowners sell that electricity to the electric company under 25-year agreements, creating an additional passive income for many years
Keeping the working environment right: the technologies used allow light and heat to be managed inside the greenhouse, so the crops keep growing in the conditions they need

In summary

A solar system in plot A is the perfect way to turn unused land into an asset that produces for many years. At Rotem Energy we offer personal, professional support from the beginning of the process to the end, and we guarantee quality service, professional installation and a high long-term return. Together we will advance green energy in Israel and help you earn from the sun

A solar system on greenhouses is a smart way to use large rural areas to generate green energy without disrupting day-to-day farming. For greenhouse owners it is a long-term financial opportunity to turn your land into a productive asset, with significant environmental and financial benefits. And if you have a regularized plot A, the eased Israel Land Authority regulations mean minimal red tape and a fast, simple process
