Agrivoltaics – Combining solar energy with agriculture
Agrivoltaics, the practice of producing food in the shade of solar panels, is an innovative strategy that combines the generation of photovoltaic electricity with agricultural land use. The outcome is an optimised relationship between food
6 FAQs about [Promotion strategy of photovoltaic panels for agricultural photovoltaic complementarity]
Can PV systems be integrated with agriculture production?
Integration of PV systems with agriculture production could be one of the sustainable approaches by employing improved land productivity. This can eradicate the growing land use competition and astonishing demand for energy and food in a country. Thus, ‘APV’ indicates that by sharing the same land and light, energy and food both can be produced.
Can photovoltaic systems be combined with agricultural production?
The concept of combining photovoltaic systems with agricultural production known as agrivoltaic systems (AVS) was initially proposed by Goetzberger & Zastrow back in 1982; however, it is rarely discussed until the beginning of the new millennium.
Are agrivoltaics a key component of solar PV poverty alleviation?
Consequently, the Chinese government has positioned agrivoltaic projects as a crucial component of solar PV poverty alleviation policies (Zhou et al., 2023). Based on a comprehensive review of agrivoltaics, agrivoltaics is intricately linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations.
What are the application modes of photovoltaic agriculture?
There are several main application modes of photovoltaic agriculture such as photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse, photovoltaic breeding, photovoltaic wastewater purification, photovoltaic water pumping and new type rural solar power station.
Can agrivoltaics preserve cropland in a full-density PV system?
Compared to PV installations causing these croplands to be completely abandoned, agrivoltaics in a full-density PV system scenario could preserve up to 139 km 2 of cropland with a corresponding crop yield of 7.1 × 10 4 tons, which is 9 % of the crop yield in a no-PV scenario.
Can dynamic PV modules improve crop production?
This approach has recently been investigated by Valle et al. (2017) with 1-axis orientable PV systems and different tracking settings. They showed that the performance of both energy and crop production can indeed be further increased by the application of dynamic PV modules.
