6 FAQs about [Agricultural Photovoltaic Support Production]

Can PV systems be integrated with agriculture production?

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.

Are solar photovoltaic systems suitable for agriculture?

Hence, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can be flexible for agrivoltaic setups, so enabling renewable energy facilities to be compatible with a more efficient and sustainable agriculture model .

What is agrivoltaic production?

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.

Can a solar photovoltaic plant be combined with agricultural production?

To address competition for land, it is possible to combine the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with agricultural production on the same area . This new production system was first devised and proposed in the 1980s to allow additional use of agricultural land .

Can solar PV and agriculture colocate?

A journal article published in Nature Sustainability finds the co‐location of solar PV and agriculture could provide agricultural enterprises with diversified revenue sources and ecological benefits, while reducing land use competition and siting restrictions.

Can agrivoltaics combine energy and agricultural production?

To address this dilemma, agrivoltaics has been proposed, combining energy and agricultural production on the same area. Our objectives were to review and synthesise the current agronomic knowledge on agrivoltaics and its future development possibilities.
