Description: Agrovoltaics, also known as agro-photovoltaics, consists of using the same area of land for both solar energy and agricultural products. Solar panels coexist with crops in the same land.
Designing agrovoltaics projects is a balancing act to optimize energy generation with crop yields, however it can save water and even augment crop production in very hot climates. However, as NIMBYism grows against large-scale PV solar projects, agrovoltaics may prove to be the key to alleviate local opposition to development of projects.
In this webinar it will be analyse the design, construction, operation and maintenance of agrovoltaics projects and the most efficient business model combining solar PV generation systems with the development of agricultural activities.
