Agrivoltaics: A Win-Win Solution for Solar Energy and Agriculture
How combining solar panels and crops can boost renewable energy production and food security in hot and drought-stricken regions
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Agrivoltaics is co-locating solar panels and crops on the same land, creating a synergy that benefits both. Agrivoltaics can improve the performance of solar panels, increase the yield and quality of crops, reduce water consumption and evaporation, and provide income and employment opportunities for rural communities.
Solar energy is one of the most promising sources of renewable energy, as it is abundant, clean, and cost-effective. However, solar energy also faces some challenges, such as land use conflicts, environmental impacts, and variability of output. One way to address these challenges is to integrate solar energy with agriculture, creating a system known as agrivoltaics.
