The worldwide use of photovoltaic (PV) energy, a prominent renewable energy source, has significantly increased in recent years due to its numerous benefits. Agrivoltaic (AV) systems, which integrate agricultural and electricity production by placing solar modules several meters above the ground, are gaining popularity in renewable energy and farming sectors. The objective of this study is to assess the solar energy production that can be generated in the Berkane region in eastern Morocco, utilizing cultivated land for potato cultivation. For an installation capacity of 563 kwp the simulation by PVsyst software reveals a system production of 1.02 GWh/yr with a performance ratio of 0.863. This indicates that the grid-connected system has an effective capacity to convert incident solar energy into electricity. Furthermore, an economic analysis has shown that the average levelized cost of electricity production over the lifetime of an energy production installation amounts to 0.06 $/KWh.

摘要

The worldwide use of photovoltaic (PV) energy, a prominent renewable energy source, has significantly increased in recent years due to its numerous benefits. Agrivoltaic (AV) systems, which integrate agricultural and electricity production by placing solar modules several meters above the ground, are gaining popularity in renewable energy and farming sectors. The objective of this study is to assess the solar energy production that can be generated in the Berkane region in eastern Morocco, utilizing cultivated land for potato cultivation. For an installation capacity of 563 kwp the simulation by PVsyst software reveals a system production of 1.02 GWh/yr with a performance ratio of 0.863. This indicates that the grid-connected system has an effective capacity to convert incident solar energy into electricity. Furthermore, an economic analysis has shown that the average levelized cost of electricity production over the lifetime of an energy production installation amounts to 0.06 $/KWh.
