Agrivoltaics System as an Integral Part of Modern Farming

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The combination of producing electricity from photovoltaics and agriculture production is gaining momentum. Such combination, when set up correctly, brings synergy, i.e., much more than just electricity from a renewable source. Energy security and food security are in this new concept called agrivoltaics. The paper reviews current knowledge on agrivoltaic systems as a branch of decarbonization, and decentralization energy strategies. Agrivoltaics in general means a photovoltaic installation that improves the conditions for cultivated crops, or cattle breeding, while renewable electricity production is an integral part and both activities are operated together at the same time. Pilot installations demonstrate that levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) are higher than ground-mounted photovoltaics installations. However, this is generally without considering the additional benefits for crops. Agrivoltaics has many forms and types. It can be combined with permanent cultures like berries, apple farms or with conventional agriculture. LCOE will depend on the type of agrivoltaics because each type needs different constructions and percentages of overshading. Further research will focus on multiple impacts of agrivoltaics, connections between agrivoltaic electricity production and consumption and finding new synergies between electricity production and crops cultivation.
