Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture, a sector with long-standing tradition in the Mediterranean basin. The region faces altered rainfall patterns, extreme temperatures, aridification, loss of biodiversity, and changes crop yield quality. These impacts, combined intensive farming practices, threaten long-term agricultural sustainability. This study investigates agrivoltaics (AVs), dual-use technology that integrates solar energy production (photovoltaic panels) as potential solution enhance resilience adaptation crops. Research at an AV system Puglia (Southeastern Italy), grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), assessed soil moisture, temperature, microclimate conditions together vine fruitfulness. Results showed shading from photovoltaic panels increased moisture moderated thus benefiting Vines beneath yielded more grapes (+277%) than full sun, confirmed by even better bud fruitfulness shaded canes. While had minimal impact on air they reduced wind speed vapor pressure deficit, creating microenvironment for vines. Spectral analysis revealed increase UV blue light under panels, potentially affecting photosynthesis. also produced substantial electricity, 90% compared ground-mounted system, demonstrating its application. higher land equivalent ratio (LER) achieved (3.54) such systems can be advantageous areas climate, allowing same land.

In this study, a framework to compare the performances of different agrivoltaic systems, or agriphotovoltaic in range environments was developed and tested. A set key performance indicators derived from simulations combined multi criteria decision analysis approach. The systems were then ranked based on their similarity optimal solution for specific environment. Main crop ratio, energy conversion per hectare, yield, water use efficiency, initial capital expenditure. Four agriphotovoltaics, namely vertical, interspace mono-axial, overhead an bi-axial, with five pitch width each cultivated processing tomato, modelled across sites (from North South Italy) during ten-year period. scenarios simulated Scilab, which radiation model GECROS coded. Global irradiation distribution beneath modules, thus more homogeneous vertical mono-axial than other agriphotovoltaic. Processing tomato demonstrated high adaptability shading yield marginally affected most system alternatives. Vertical accounted least reduction when same is compared. Overall, APV 6 m first site 0.7 ratio threshold considered. This could serve as valuable tool assessing agriphotovoltaics compliance national regulation, economic technical targets.

Abstract Agrivoltaics represents a key technology for reaching sustainable development goals by reducing the competition between land used food, feed, and electricity. It has been demonstrated that can increase productivity play role in expansion of renewable energy production. This work aimed to study yield nutritional characteristics, as well feeding value ruminants Durum wheat biomass grown under agrivoltaic. Two years controlled experiments revealed reduction light moderately limited yields phenological phase soft dough standard agrivoltaic trackers (i.e. with Ground Coverage Ratio (GCR) = 13%), otherwise extended GCR 41%), was reduced compared control whole light. The digestible neutral detergent fiber evaluated after 24 h situ rumen incubations increased shading, resulting different ratios acid lignin. More shaded theses also had superior crude soluble proteins, detergent-insoluble protein, than control. treatments showed better Ca: P ratio ruminant nutrition. These characteristics are strategic forage production, allowing more flexible harvesting strategy. additional contribution produced on Agrivoltaic Systems could allow inclusion types diets management silage or hay sites. results might be helpful improving production give valuable information Wheat System.
