Solar Energy in Agriculture: Agrivoltaics Benefits, Crop Yield Effects, Farm Design Options, Costs, Grants, and Best Practices
Solar energy can be integrated into active farmland without removing land from agricultural production through agrivoltaics, a system that places photovoltaic panels above or between crops so that food and electricity are produced on the same land. When designed correctly, agrivoltaic systems can maintain or improve yields for specific crops, reduce water stress, generate stable … Read more
