Agrivoltaics
Agrivoltaics (agrophotovoltaics, agrisolar, or dual-use solar) is the dual use of land for solar energy production and agriculture. [2] [3] [4] The technique was first conceived by Adolf Goetzberger and Armin Zastrow in 1981.[5]Many agricultural activities can be combined with solar, including plant crops, livestock, greenhouses, and wild plants to provide pollinator

Techno-Economic Viability of Agro-Photovoltaic Irrigated Arable Lands
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is positioned to play a major role in the electricity generation mix of Mediterranean countries. Nonetheless, substantial increase in ground-mounted PV installed capacity could lead to competition with the agricultural use of land. A way to avert the peril is the electricity-food dual use of land or agro-photovoltaics (APV).

6 FAQs about [Agro photovoltaic Grenada]
Can agrivoltaic plants be grown under solar panels?
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. Increased global demand for food and energy implies higher competition for agricultural land.
Can a solar photovoltaic plant be combined with agricultural production?
To address competition for land, it is possible to combine the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with agricultural production on the same area . This new production system was first devised and proposed in the 1980s to allow additional use of agricultural land .
