What is photovoltaic agriculture?

Photovoltaic agriculture, the combination of photovoltaic power generation and agricultural activities, is a natural response to supply the green and sustainable electricity for agriculture.

Can symbiotic photovoltaic system design conditions affect agricultural farm land?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. The symbiotic photovoltaic (PV) electrofarming system introduced in this study is developed for the PV setup in an agriculture farming land. The study discusses the effect of different PV system design conditions influenced by annual sunhours on agricultural farm land.

Can agrivoltaic systems be combined with agricultural land?

Agrivoltaic systems are a strategic and innovative approach to combining solar photovoltaic (PV)-based renewable energy generation with agricultural production [ 46 ]. Therefore, in this study, the novelty is that we have proposed a configuration of a PV system combined with agricultural land to grow vegetables underneath the PV system.

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.

Why is photovoltaic energy conversion important for agriculture?

The emergence of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy conversion technology in agriculture diminishes the need for oil-based fuels in this sector, offering a more affordable and sustainable electricity generation technique, and causing a remarkable reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Does photovoltaic agriculture need coupling coordination?

Based on the study by Chen et al. (2019), currently, the coupling coordination development for the photovoltaic agriculture system is low, but it will take a considerable impetus as both PV and agriculture industries display an accelerated development in the next 10 years.
