6 FAQs about [Layout of photovoltaic panels for complementary agriculture]

What is crop selection & PV design for agrivoltaics?

Crop selection and PV design for agrivoltaics require synonymous optimization. The increasing global population amplifies the demand for food and energy. Meeting these demands should be a priority and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the key technologies for a sustainable energy transition.

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.

What is Agri-Voltaics or solar farming?

Aust J Agric Res:733–749 Santra P, Pande P, Kumar S, Mishra D, Singh R (2017) Agri-voltaics or solar farming: the concept of integrating solar PV based electricity generation and crop production in a single land use system. Int J Renew Energy Res 7 Schmid A, Reise C, (2015) Bifacial PV modules - characterization and simulation.

Are vertically placed solar panels suitable for shade-intolerant crops?

Vertically placed Bifacial PV, transparent, and semitransparent tilted PVs can be suitable for shade-intolerant crops whereas opaque PVs are appropriate for shade-tolerant crops. The knowledge gap between various stakeholders such as solar PV researchers, agricultural researchers, and land users needs to be more rigorous.

What is agrivoltaics (AV)?

Agrivoltaics (AV) offers a dual-land-use solution by combining solar energy and crop cultivation. Some pioneering AV production systems have been implemented in practice. However, optimizing the PV technology and -array design as well as understanding the impact of PV panels on crop selection and performance remains challenging.

How to design an agrivoltaic system?

In the design of an agrivoltaic system, it is important to first consider the type of crop and its light requirements , its response to shade, irrigation levels, and parameters related to evapotranspiration and temperature and humidity preservation as well as the type of livestock to be included and its temperature and shade requirements.
