The uptick in extreme weather has a huge impact on agriculture more than virtually any other industry, with conditions being too dry and hot at times, while at other times unexpected hailstorms can threaten crops. This is where photovoltaic systems can help. Harnessing solar energy to renewably produce electricity can contribute to climate mitigation while meeting current energy de- mands. Agrivoltaics, which combines both energy and food production, has the. Agrivoltaics is a relatively new term used originally for integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into the agricultural landscape and expanded to applications such as animal farms, greenhouses, and recreational parks. The dual use of land offers multiple solutions for the renewable energy sector. This guideline provides information on the potential of agrivoltaics, including the latest technologies and regulatory frameworks in this area. can be met with land-based PV farms.
[PDF Version]Compared with either conventional agricultural system or PV alone, the colocation of PV panels within agricultural systems has the potential to enhance plant yields and animal and energy production per unit of land while enhancing the resilience of our food and energy systems.
The integration of agriculture and PV energy is currently a widespread global concern (Othman et al., 2015). This innovative approach to farming has been recognized as a significant strategy for addressing environmental pollution and reducing fossil energy consumption (Li et al., 2021).
As an emerging form of production, PV agriculture can make full use of light resources to develop clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure agricultural production (Xue, 2017). However, there are still some pain points and challenges in the actual development process.
In this process, the potential of other, similar PV concepts with dual land use has been recognized and the relevant political framework has been established, including PV systems on marshy soil with subsequent rewetting, PV systems to increase species diversity and agrivoltaic systems with extensive cultivation.
