Research indicates that growing crops beneath photovoltaic displays can actually yield a distinct set of agricultural and environmental benefits. Thanks to the shade provided by the panels, for example, the soil can retain more water, meaning it needs less irrigation.
Solar panels also protect crops from cold weather and create a favorable microclimate beneath them. To achieve success with agrivoltaics, careful consideration for solar panel placement is required. Grapevines do very well under solar panels, which also improves the quality of the grape.
Impact on yield is highly variable between crop and geographical location. Plants considered intolerant to shading could be grown under solar panels under certain conditions. Benefits of agrivoltaics are also linked to reduced water consumption, improved crop protection and increased animal welfare.
Most studies focused on combining electricity generation with crop production. Vegetables, especially lettuce and tomato, were the focus of many papers. The success of a crop under an agrivoltaic system depends on many factors, yet mainly on location and season.
