Solar agriculture, also known as “Agrophotovoltaics (APV)” or “dual-use farming” could be the solution. It refers to the farming process where crops are grown underneath arrays of elevated solar panels. According to a study by Fraunhofer Institute, top 2 research institute in Europe in 2019, APV increases farming productivity by 160%.
Agrivoltaic farming could be a solution to not just one but both of these problems. It uses the shaded space underneath solar panels to grow crops. This increases land-use efficiency, as it lets solar farms and agriculture share ground, rather than making them compete against one another.

In this research, an inductive approach reveals that solar industry professionals are focused on how agrivoltaics can shift the social acceptance of solar energy development, providing “projects with personality” that local communities may be more likely to support as they generate multiple local benefits that align with community priorities.
Agrivoltaic Production An AV system, often referred to as “agrivoltaics”, “Agri-PV”, “Agro-PV”, “agri-solar”, “solar sharing” or “pollinator-friendly solar”, depending on the area and specific use , can be defined as a technology or management that aims to use land for agricultural (or livestock) purposes and simultaneously generate PV energy.
