  1. 6. A Contingency Framework for Assessing the Commercial Potential of Utility-scale Agrivoltaics

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Filippa Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaic; Agriphotovoltaic; AV; AGV; Solar Photovoltaic; Solar PV; Commercialization; Commercial Potential; Utility-scale; Contingency Framework; Stakeholder s ; Renewable Energy; Renewables;

    Abstract : Purpose - In the pursuit of renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) is predicted to become the single biggest global source of energy by the year of 2027, part of a trilemma involving climate change, biodiversity and food security. Agrivoltaic (AV) systems, the co-location and potential symbiosis between agricultural activities and solar PV, has thereby arisen as a potential solution for dual land-use. READ MORE

  3. 7. Monitoring of microclimate underneath agrivoltaic systems using IoT sensor station

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Erik Stridsman; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Microclimate monitoring; IoT; Albedo measurement; Temperature measurement; Humidity measurement; Arduino;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic systems work on the principle of combining farmland with Photovoltaic energy conversion giving the land it sits on dual purpose. Moreover, by combining solar electricity conversion and crop production additional benefits such as water saving and, in some cases even higher crop yields compared to open field conditions.

  4. 8. Optimizing sunlight distribution in agrivoltaic systems for the Swedish climate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Amanda Daniels; [2022]
    Keywords : agrivoltaics; agri-PV; solar energy; PV; photovoltaics; agriculture; renewable energy; sketchup; solenergi; jordbruk; förnyelsebar energi;

    Abstract : Due to a rising land demand for the construction of large-scale PV-systems, there is increasing competition between energy and food production. A new emerging segment within the PV market called agrivoltaics is providing a contributing solution to this issue by co-using the land for both crop cultivation and PV energy. READ MORE

  5. 9. Agrivoltaic Implementation in Greenhouses : A Techno-Economic Analysis of Agrivoltaic Installations for Greenhouses in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Henrik Gauffin; [2022]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Agrophotovoltaics; Photovoltaics; Greenhouse; Battery Energy Storage System; Agrivoltaics for Greenhouses; Techno-Economic Assesment; AV; APV; PV.;

    Abstract : Due to the growing population and climate change, the world will see an increase in demand for food, freshwater and renewable energy supply. Agrivoltaics has the possibility to address all these problems, by producing food and renewable energy but also by reducing water usage in agriculture. READ MORE

  6. 10. Possible implementations of agrivoltaics in Sweden : With focus on solar irradiation and electricity production

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Jennifer Suuronen; [2022]
    Keywords : solar; agrivoltaics; solar cells; integrated system; agriculture; solar irradiation;

    Abstract : With a need for rapid growth of renewable energy sources like photovoltaics, there will also be a competition of land. Agriculture and solar energy share the same optimum conditions of land to produce. But with a combination of the two on the same surface, a concept called agrivoltaic, that issue can be solved.
