Photovoltaic agriculture, the combination of photovoltaic power generation and agricultural activities, is a natural response to supply the green and sustainable electricity for agriculture.
There are several main application modes of photovoltaic agriculture such as photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse, photovoltaic breeding, photovoltaic wastewater purification, photovoltaic water pumping and new type rural solar power station.
Agrivoltaics is the dual use of land by combining agricultural crop production and photovoltaic (PV) systems. In this work, we have analyzed three different agrivoltaic configurations: static with optimal tilt, vertically mounted bifacial, and single-axis horizontal tracking.
Agrivoltaics (APV) is defined as the simultaneous use of land for agriculture and PV systems. 8 - 10 Synergies can enable both the crops and the PV modules to benefit from this integration.
Of course, LED technology can help to promote PV agriculture. LED is regarded as ideal light source for adjusting the light environment in the CEA greenhouse, due to energy saving, long life and low GHG emissions , , .
PV agricultural greenhouse power generation system, installed on or above the roof of agricultural greenhouse, can save land resources because it does not occupy land and change the nature of land usage. This system can play an active and effective role in the relative reduction of arable land with the increasing population.
