This review article focuses on agrivoltaic production systems (AV). The transition towards renewable energy sources, driven by the need to respond climate change, competition for land use, and scarcity of fossil fuels, has led consideration new ways optimise use while producing clean energy. AV not only generate but also allow agricultural livestock yields be maintained or even increased under PV structures, offering a sustainable strategy that may more acceptable local communities than traditional installations. assesses technical feasibility systems, environmental, economic social benefits, as well challenges faced legal framework regulating their implementation. It is highlighted despite advantages in efficiency dual food production, there are important related initial investment required, technological adaptation, regulatory obstacles, effects shading production. paper underlines importance further research development these overcome constraints maximise potential benefits. concluded although they present significant challenges, management offers promising opportunities improve contribute several goals.

Agrivoltaics, i.e. the placement of photovoltaic panels above crops, can contribute to more sustainable energy and food systems. However, current large knowledge gap on crop yield response shade is a limiting factor agrivoltaics development. Berries have been identified as benefitting group with high potential for agrivoltaics, but little known their individual response. We examine berry in detail through meta-analysis strawberry (Fragaria ananassa), blueberry (Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus), blackberry (Rubus subg. Rubus), black currant (Ribes nigrum), distinguish between crops assess suitability This study provides first curves increasing shade, also distinguishing different radiation intensity environments. The provide valuable information design systems help selecting optimal panel density combinations locations. find that low levels are relatively less detrimental than differs significantly conclude that, although generally classified shade-benefitting previous literature, not all berries equally suitable shaded conditions agrivoltaics. Whereas at intensities benefit from up 50 % other types better tolerant, enduring around 35 without loss declining afterwards.

In the context of climate change and increasing demand for innovative solutions in agriculture energy, agrivoltaic systems (AVSs) have emerged as promising technologies. These integrate photovoltaic panels with agricultural practices, optimizing both food energy production. This study provides a comprehensive review focused on monitoring techniques applicable to AVS, including fixed sensors remote tools. Bibliographic analysis revealed significant increase scientific interest AVSs since 2019, most publications focusing technological, agronomic, environmental aspects. Key findings highlight benefits such reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved water efficiency, enhanced soil quality. Otherwise, challenges high initial costs persistence technical complexities. Innovative configurations semi-transparent or vertically bifacial enable resource optimization yields if combined advanced systems. highlights importance incentive policies further research maximize potential promoting sustainable land management.

Abstract Agrivoltaic systems are characterized by the co‐existence of photovoltaic panels on agricultural land, allowing simultaneous solar energy and food production without need for further land. installations alter local microclimatic conditions land surface, impacting performance embedded in them. In this study we develop an ecohydrological modeling framework combining a module that simulates changes micrometeorology due to panel with state‐of‐the‐art model resolves surface water, energy, vegetation dynamics (i.e., terrestrial biosphere T&C). We demonstrate is capable reproducing grassland across broad range climates agrivoltaic architectures. With use evaluated Mediterranean two most commonly used architectures, namely mixed mounted rotating tracking panels. found C3 yields can be significantly enhanced only where annual potential evapotranspiration exceeds rainfall. Changes productivity were attributed primarily light environment at aerodynamic roughness rainfall redistribution drainage playing smaller negative role comparable magnitudes.

Agrivoltaics is a relatively new term used originally for integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into the agricultural landscape and expanded to applications such as animal farms, greenhouses, recreational parks. The dual use of land offers multiple solutions renewable energy sector worldwide, provided it can be implemented without negatively impacting production. However, agrivoltaics represent technology, facing challenges including economic viability, vulnerability wind loads, interference with growing crops. This paper reviews recent research on farming applications, focusing challenges, impact agrivoltaics, solutions. effect temperature control lands critical factor in managing (1) water soil land, (2) comfort, (3) greenhouse productivity, positively or negatively.
