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.
Our Solar PV systems empower your farm with renewable energy, reducing your environmental footprint while providing economic benefits. Whether you’re a small farm, a large agricultural enterprise, or anywhere in between, our tailored solutions fit your unique needs.
As these projects are located in arid regions (Egypt and Jordan, respectively) potential synergistic effects of the APV panels on crop production can be expected through the mitigation of evaporation and excessive solar radiation (Marrou et al. 2013a; Ravi et al. 2016).
Combining solar energy production with agriculture on the same plot can achieve up to 186% land-use efficiency. This dual-purpose approach allows us to simultaneously address food and energy security challenges, making the most of our available land resources.
Covering just 1% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) with agrivoltaic systems could result in 944 GW direct current of installed capacity. Unlike conventional ground mounted photovoltaic systems, in agrivoltaic applications the panels are installed to allow crops, grass or fruit to grow normally. © jeson, stock.adobe.com
