New study reveals staggering benefits of pairing solar panels with crops: 'Economic value'
Bringing together agriculture and solar power is proving to be lucrative for both industries as well as the general public. Agrivoltaics combines farming with solar by installing panels on existing farmland. A recent study conducted by researchers in Canada shows that this approach is very beneficial to crops. It's been proved that agrivoltaics increases crop yields and soil health, but this study also found that this remains true even when the…
Agrovoltaica is once again at the center of the debate on land use with a practical result that usually decides on the viability of projects. How much space must be left between rows of panels so that the land remains farmland and not a residual land. A study led by researchers from the University of Turku (Finland), centered on bifacial vertical panels in high latitudes, proposes a clear threshold. From 8 meters of separation the crops receive …
