There is a long history of food producers using the sun’s energy for growing and drying crops, solar PV adds a modern twist to agricultural landscapes and the farmer’s relationship with the sun. Solar PV systems are versatile and scalable and warrant serious thought as part of any ambition to get to net zero.

The findings can help land use planners, solar developers, and municipal governments make informed decisions that strategically and meaningfully integrate agriculture and solar, and in turn provide multiple benefits including the retention of agricultural land, local economic development, and broad adoption of solar energy technologies. 1.
The solar-powered electroculture technique for backyard farming is a project which aims to make crops grow larger and faster. It is powered by a 50 Watts solar panel connected to a 12 Volt DC deep cycle battery. The 12 Volt deep cycle battery supplies the copper rods planted in the soil through a charge controller.
Policies that impede solar on agricultural land reflect local opposition to development but suggest an opportunity for agrivoltaics. This assertion is based both on insight from participants and from the nature of lawmaking in the U.S., specifically local level zoning.
Much research is being done in the field of agriculture for use of soletrical energy. And its use is sure out the year. The use of this soletrical ener gy for water pumping, lighting, pesticide s by da y in agriculture. But utilization of solar energy in agricult ure in this way is still and hope of future ener gy requir ements.
