Agrivoltaics, or the practice of solar agriculture co-location, is defined as agricultural production underneath or adjacent to solar panels, such as crops, livestock, and pollinators.
The idea of using agricultural land for both agricultural production and electricity generation using photovoltaics has been around since the 1980s. In 1981, the concept was introduced by Prof. Dr. Adolf Goetzberger, founder of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, and Dr. Armin Zastrow.
A journal article published in Nature Sustainability finds the co‐location of solar PV and agriculture could provide agricultural enterprises with diversified revenue sources and ecological benefits, while reducing land use competition and siting restrictions.
Crops such as berries or apples are often very susceptible to external influences, which is why they can benefit greatly from protective devices such as hail nets or films against the effects of the weather, which can be easily replaced by agrivoltaic systems.
