Can agrivoltaic farms solve solar's land-use issue?

Agrivoltaic farms that allow energy and food production plus water conservation on the same plot can solve solar's land-use issue, according to researchers.

Does Agrivoltaics work on a farm?

While agrivoltaics works with many different types of farms, it's not for everyone. If your crops require large equipment to fit between the solar panel systems, you may need to limit your arrays to certain areas on your farm, which may or may not be a viable option.

Can agrivoltaics grow on Rooftop farms?

Another harsh growing environment in which agrivoltaics can excel is on rooftop farms, where limited water and higher temperatures can hinder both the functioning of panels and the growth of crops. "When the temperatures get above 25 degrees Celsius, solar panels start to lose efficiency," said Bousselot.
