The 2026 harvest marks an important milestone for Yerucham Winery and the SolarWine project. Following several years of field testing, positive agronomic results, and encouraging grape quality, we are now harvesting the grapes that will become the next generation of SolarWine wines, expected to be bottled and ready for tasting by the end of Q1 2027.

This harvest represents more than a successful growing season. It reflects the progress of a long-term collaboration between Yerucham Winery, SolarWine, and our partners in demonstrating how agrivoltaics can support both agricultural resilience and high-quality winemaking.

As Arava Power advances the final regulatory steps toward a ready-to-build project, we are moving from pilot-scale validation toward broader commercial deployment. What started as an experiment in the vineyard is steadily becoming a scalable model for agrivoltaics.

In the coming months, we will also share additional results from our monitored and control vineyard blocks while continuing to develop a dedicated monitoring framework for agrivoltaic vineyards.

The countdown is not just to the opening of a bottle. It is a countdown to the next chapter of agrivoltaics.
