Currently, there are several ways solar panels can be installed to complement agricultural activities. Fixed vertical or tilted panels provide
Solar-panel crops reveal a result that could change farming
Agrivoltaics, the practice of growing crops under and around elevated panels, turns that logic on its head by treating sunlight as a resource that can be split rather than claimed outright.
Why Farmers Are Shielding Their Crops With Solar Panels
Agrivoltaics is the combination of agricultural production (which converts sunlight to food) with solar photovoltaic technology (which converts sunlight directly into electricity).
