Agrivoltaics: solar power generation and food production

Concerning land-use competition between PV systems and agriculture, agrivoltaics enables an expansion of PV capacity while conserving farmland as a resource for food production. A dual-use of farmland considerably increases land-use efficiency. Additionally, PV modules can protect soil and crops that are exposed to increasing and more frequent

Agrivoltaics: Solar and Agriculture Co-Location

Most large, ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are installed on land used only for solar energy production. It''s possible to co-locate solar and agriculture on the same land, which could provide benefits to both the solar and agricultural industries. Exploring alternate solar system designs and agricultural practices that
