Examining Agrovoltaic System: Impacts on Energy Yield and Crop Productivity

This study investigates the performance of agrovoltaic systems by analyzing module efficiency, energy yield, microclimate conditions, and crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted to compare the parameters between agrovoltaic systems and traditional agricultural practices. Module efficiency and energy yield were measured to assess the solar panels’ performance under co-located crop cultivation. Microclimatic conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed, were monitored to understand their influence on both crop growth and solar module efficiency. Crop yield was evaluated to determine the agricultural productivity of the agrovoltaic system compared to conventional farming practices. The study outcome provides a deep insight into the feasibility and benefits of integrating agriculture and solar energy production, highlighting opportunities for maximizing land use efficiency and promoting sustainable farming practices.
