HE FUTURE OF AGRO PV IN IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE
BACKGROUND
Agrivoltaic (AgroPV) systems combine agriculture and photovoltaic energy production on the same land, offering a sustainable solution to growing global challenges. By shading crops, these systems can reduce water evaporation, enhancing irrigation efficiency while generating renewable energy. AgroPV contributes to the “water-food-energy” nexus by optimizing land use, supporting agricultural production, improving water efficiency and contributing to clean energy goals.
OBJECTIVES:
- The historical development of Agrivoltaic (AgroPV) and recent innovations
- The relations between Agrivoltaic (AgroPv) systems and “water-food-energy” Nexus
- The impact of developing solar panel technologies on Agrivoltaic (AgroPv) systems
- Current status of national policies on Agrivoltaic (AgroPv) systems
- International collaborations in Agrivoltaic studies
