Agrivoltaics (agrophotovoltaics, agrisolar, or dual-use solar) is the dual use of land for solar energy production and agriculture.The technique was first conceived by Adolf Goetzberger and Armin Zastrow in 1981.

 

Many agricultural activities can be combined with solar, including plant crops, livestock, greenhouses, and wild plants to provide pollinator support. Agrivoltaic systems can include solar panels between crops, elevated above crops, or on greenhouses.

 

Solar panels help plants to retain moisture and lower temperatures, and can provide shelter for livestock animals. The dual use of land can also provide a diversified income stream for farmers.

 

Solar panels block light, which means that the design of dual use systems can require trade-offs between optimizing crop yield, crop quality, and energy production.Some crops and livestock benefit from the increased shade, lessening or even eliminating the trade-off.

 

The three basic types are:

 

Interleaved arrays and crops
Arrays elevated above crops/livestock
Arrays on greenhouses

 

All three systems have several variables used to maximize solar energy absorbed in both the panels and the crops. The main variable taken into account for agrivoltaic systems is the tilt angle of the solar panels. Other variables taken into account for choosing the location of the agrivoltaic system are the crops chosen, panel heights, solar irradiance and climate of the area.

 

Fixed solar panels over crops

 

The most conventional systems install fixed solar panels on agricultural greenhouses,above open fields crops or between open fields crops. It is possible to optimize the installation by modifying the density of solar panels or the inclination of the panels.

 

Vertical systems

 

Vertically mounted agrivoltaic systems with bifacial photovoltaic modules systems have been developed. Most agricultural fences can be used for vertical agrivoltaics.

 

Integrated systems

 

A standalone solar panel integrated system using a hydrogel can work as an atmospheric water generator, pulling in water vapor (usually at night) to produce fresh water to irrigate crops which can be enclosed beneath the panel (alternatively it can cool the panel)
