Abstract
Agrivoltaic systems combine food production and solar energy conversion on the same land, offering a dual-use approach to address land use concerns in renewable energy development. One of the main research and market challenges for agrivoltaic systems is the ability to predict food and energy yields prior to installation. The photovoltaic modules reduce solar irradiation on the ground, altering the energy balance at the ground and crop levels, affecting thus evapotranspiration and photosynthesis. The photovoltaic modules also influence local rain distribution and wind patterns, creating a microclimate that impacts both crop production and photovoltaic efficiency. The need to evaluate these effects and their…
