Agrivoltaics is an innovative approach that combines solar energy generation with agricultural land use. By installing solar panels above crops or alongside farming operations, this system allows for the dual use of land, enabling both food production and energy generation. As the world grapples with climate change, food security, and the need for renewable energy, agrivoltaics presents a promising solution. Sheep grazing is the most popular livestock type. Vegetables and berries are the leading crops. There are many benefits, but also significant. . Agrivoltaics is a confguration that allows for dual land use through the deployment of on-farm solar while maintaining agricultural production on the land underneath and/or in between the solar panels.
