Abstract:
Well-intentioned regulations to protect Canada’s most productive farmland restrict large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) development. The recent innovation of agrivoltaics, which is the co-development of land for both PV and agriculture, makes these regulations obsolete. Burgeoning agrivoltaics research has shown agricultural benefits, including increased yield for a wide range of crops, plant protection from excess solar energy and hail, and improved water conservation, while maintaining agricultural employment and local food supplies. In addition, the renewable electricity generation decreases greenhouse gas emissions while increasing farm revenue. As Canada, and Ontario in particular, is at a strategic disadvantage in agriculture without agrivoltaics, this study investigates the policy changes necessary to capitalize on the benefits of using agrivoltaics in Ontario. Land-use policies in Ontario are reviewed. Then, three case studies (peppers, sweet corn, and winter wheat) are analysed for agrivoltaic potential in Ontario. These results are analysed in conjunction with potential policies that would continue to protect the green-belt of the Golden Horseshoe, while enabling agrivoltaics in Ontario. Four agrivoltaic policy areas are discussed: increased research and development, enhanced education/public awareness, mechanisms to support Canada’s farmers converting to agrivoltaics, and using agrivoltaics as a potential source of trade surplus with the U.S.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaic systems have been proposed as the most prominent synergetic application of agricultural and energetic sectors. Integrating solar power generating with agricultural activities is relatively new; however, it has started with implementing the PV panels into the greenhouses. Comparatively, openfield agrivoltaics systems are still growing and under-development in many locations around the world. The urge to explore innovative solutions for the increasing demand for electricity and food has been the main motivation for the research centers, researchers, and governments to escalate agrivoltaics development globally. In this paper, the current and most recent projects and studies of open-field agrivoltaic systems are presented, compared, and analyzed in order to anticipate the potential and path of development for agrivoltaics in the near future. Several pieces of research from different countries globally were included to illustrate the main features and performance indicators of agrivoltaic systems. The paper concludes that the agrivoltaics system has the potential to grow to big-scale projects in different climatic regions because it provides benefits either by increasing the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER), protecting the plants from severe ambient weather, and diversifying the income for farmers. New technologies and methods have been integrated with the agrivoltaics systems in different projects to optimize the model; however, many aspects of development could be introduced in the near future.

Abstract:
As Alberta increases conventional solar power generation, land-use conflicts with agriculture increase. A solution that enables low-carbon electricity generation and continued (in some cases, increased) agricultural output is the co-locating of solar photovoltaics (PV) and agriculture: agrivoltaics. This review analyzes policies that impact the growth of agrivoltaics in Alberta. Solar PV-based electricity generation is governed by three regulations based on system capacity. In addition, agrivoltaics falls under various legislations, frameworks, and guidelines for land utilization. These include the Land Use Framework, Alberta Land Stewardship Act, Municipal Government Act, Special Areas Disposition, Bill 22, and other policies, which are reviewed in the agrivoltaics context. Several policies are recommended to support the rapid deployment of agrivoltaics. Openly accessible agrivoltaics research will help optimize agrivoltaic systems for the region, and can be coupled with public education to galvanize social acceptability of large-scale PV deployment. Clearly defining and categorizing agrivoltaics technology, developing agrivoltaics standards, making agrivoltaics technology-friendly regulations and frameworks, and developing programs and policies to incentivize agrivoltaics deployment over conventional PV will all accelerate the technology’s deployment. Through these measures, Alberta can achieve conservation and sustainability in the food and energy sectors while simultaneously addressing their renewable energy and climate-related goals.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaic systems are a strategic and innovative approach to combine solar photovoltaic (PV)-based renewable energy generation with agricultural production. Recognizing the fundamental importance of farmer adoption in the successful diffusion of the agrivoltaic innovation, this study investigates agriculture sector experts’ perceptions on the opportunities and barriers to dual land-use systems. Using in-depth, semistructured interviews, this study conducts a first study to identify challenges to farmer adoption of agrivoltaics and address them by responding to societal concerns. Results indicate that participants see potential benefits for themselves in combined solar and agriculture technology. The identified barriers to adoption of agrivoltaics, however, include: (i) desired certainty of long-term land productivity, (ii) market potential, (iii) just compensation and (iv) a need for predesigned system flexibility to accommodate different scales, types of operations, and changing farming practices. The identified concerns in this study can be used to refine the technology to increase adoption among farmers and to translate the potential of agrivoltaics to address the competition for land between solar PV and agriculture into changes in solar siting, farming practice, and land-use decision-making.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaic systems combine solar photovoltaic energy production with agriculture to improve land-use efficiency. We provide an upper-bound reduced-order cost estimate for widespread implementation of Agrivoltaic systems in the United States. We find that 20% of the US’ total electricity generation can be met with Agrivoltaic systems if less than 1% of the annual US budget is invested into rural infrastructure. Simultaneously, Agrivoltaic systems align well with existing Green New Deal goals. Widescale installation of Agrivoltaic systems can lead to a carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction equivalent to removing 71,000 cars from the road annually and the creation of over 100,000 jobs in rural communities. Agrivoltaics provide a rare chance for true synergy: more food, more energy, lower water demand, lower carbon emissions, and more prosperous rural communities.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaics is currently presented as a possible effective solution to one of society’s greatest challenges: responding to the increasing demand for energy and food in an efficient and sustainable manner. To this end, agrivoltaics proposes to combine agricultural and renewable energy production on the same land using photovoltaic technology. The performance of this new production model strongly depends on the interaction between the two systems, agricultural and photovoltaic. In that sense, one of the most important aspects to consider are the effects of the shadows of the photovoltaic panels on the crop land. Therefore, further study of crop behavior under agrivoltaic conditions requires exhaustive knowledge of the spatial distribution of solar radiation within the portion of land between collectors and crops. This study presents a valid methodology to estimate this distribution of solar irradiance in agrivoltaic installations as a function of the photovoltaic installation geometry and the levels of diffuse and direct solar irradiance incident on the crop land. As an example, this methodology was applied to simulate the radiative capture potential of possible photovoltaic plants located in Cordoba, Spain by systematically varying the design variables of the photovoltaic plants. Based on the results obtained, a model correlating the agrivoltaic potential of a photovoltaic plant with its design variables is proposed. Likewise, for the “Alcolea 1” photovoltaic plant (Cordoba, Spain), the solar radiation decay profiles were simulated in the lanes between the photovoltaic collectors where the crops would be planted in the event of converting this plant into an agrivoltaic facility. Thus, the methodology proposed represents an interesting way to determine the agrivoltaic potential of existing grid-connected photovoltaic installations that could be converted into agrivoltaic installations, contributing to the implementation of this new agricultural production model that is more sustainable and environmentally committed to the future.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaics, which integrate photovoltaic power production with agriculture in the same plot of land, have the potential to reduce land competition, reduce crop irrigation, and increase solar panel efficiency. To optimize agrivoltaic systems for crop growth, energy pathways must be characterized. While the solar panels shade the crops, they also emit longwave radiation and partially block the ground from downwelling longwave radiation. A deeper understanding of the spatial variation in incoming energy would enable controlled allocation of energy in the design of agrivoltaic systems. The model also demonstrates that longwave energy should not be neglected when considering a full energy balance on the soil under solar panels.

Abstract:
An agrovoltaic system combines agricultural crop production and energy production in the same place, emphasizing the dual use of land. This article provides a bibliometric analysis of agrivoltaic topics based on publications indexed in SCOPUS, in which either economic assessments of agrivoltaics, agrivoltaic systems for crops and livestock animals, photovoltaic greenhouse and agrivoltaics with open field are discussed, or its ideas are used to analyze certain locations. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the SCOPUS database. Multiple bibliometric tools, such as R Studio and Biblioshiny, were applied to analyze data for this study. Finally, 121 relevant articles were obtained and reviewed. The results show that the focus topic is a brand-new research area, with the majority of relevant scientific publications concentrated in the last three years, and with much ongoing research. This is why AV-specialized scientific conferences might be the best place to get relevant and up-to-date information, with the highest number being offered in the USA and China. A typical trend in recent years has been researched, focusing on different agricultural aspects. The research results show that scientific publications in recent years mainly focus on short-term predictions, there is no recognized evaluation standard for various prediction analyses, and it is difficult to evaluate various prediction methods so far.

Abstract:
Agri-Photovoltaik bedeutet, dass Agrarflächen doppelt genutzt werden: zum Anbau von Feldfrüchten und zur Produktion von Strom. Aufgrund dieser ,,Doppelernte“ verliert die Landwirtschaft keine Anbauflächen ‐ anders als bei Photovoltaik-Freiflächenanlagen, die überwiegend der Stromerzeugung dienen. Damit Subventionen jenen Nutzungen zugute kommen, die der Umwelt und der Nahrungsmittelproduktion gleichermaßen dienen, ist es wichtig, Agri-Photovoltaik von Freiflächenanlagen abzugrenzen und verschiedene Varianten der Agri-Photovoltaik zu unterscheiden.“Agrivoltaics” denotes approaches to use agricultural areas simultaneously to produce food and to generate photovoltaic (PV) electricity. Social impact analysis shows that for a successful agrivoltaics dissemination, clear standards must be set for the agricultural activity on agrivoltaics sites, so that no subsidy abuse and pseudo-farming occur. Until today there is no internationally recognized definition of agrivoltaics, but since more governments are willing to include the technology in their policies, this article derives a generally valid agrivoltaics definition and puts it up for debate. In the first step, differentiation criteria of agrivoltaics from other PV applications were developed. In the second step, the derived properties were scrutinised with reference to the political reasons for agrivoltaics diffusion in Germany, and compared to Germany’s goals in terms of energy and environmental policy. Finally, a basic definition is derived that must meet certain mandatory requirements. This generally applicable definition of agrivoltaics can be supplemented in the national context by optional requirements to steer diffusion more purposefully. The results contribute to the debate on the definition of agrivoltaics in Germany and can also enrich the discourse in other governments and parliaments on agrivoltaics market introduction.

Abstract:
India is a leader when it comes to agriculture. A significant part of the country’s population depends on agriculture for livelihood. However, many of them face challenges due to using unreliable farming techniques. Sometimes the challenges increase to the extent that they commit suicide. Besides, India is highly populated, and its population is steadily increasing, requiring its government to grow its GDP and increase its energy supply proportionately. This paper reviews integrating solar farming with agriculture, known as Agrivoltaics, as a Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) option for Indian farmers. This study is further supported by the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of agrivoltaics. Using the SWOT analysis, this article presents how agrivoltaics can make agriculture sustainable and reliable. This paper identifies rural electrification, water conservation, yield improvement, sustainable income generation, and reduction in the usage of pesticides as the strengths of agrivoltaics. Similarly, the paper presents weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to agrivoltaics in India. The research concludes with the findings that agrivoltaics have the potential of meeting multiple objectives such as meeting global commitments, offering employment, providing economic stability, increasing clean energy production capacity, conserving natural resources, and succeeding in several others. The paper also includes a discussion about the findings, suggestions, and implications of adopting agrivoltaics on a large scale in India.

Abstract:
Geology<br>M.S.<br>Solar photovoltaic (PV) generation has been gaining popularity as low carbon energy technology in the face of the global climate change. However, conventional utility-scale PV requires large swaths of land to be occupied for decades which prevents the land from producing food or performing vital ecosystem services. Co-location of PV with crop cultivation is an emerging strategy for mitigating the land use of PV. In order to optimize this strategy, the impact of the plant growth-related soil properties need to be quantified. To this end, the first portion of the thesis investigated the impacts on the soil properties in a re-vegetated solar PV facility in Boulder, Colorado, which was the oldest vegetation-PV co-location site in the world. The second portion of the thesis uses a life cycle analysis (LCA) approach to test the feasibility of co-location of model crop cultivation and solar PV electricity generation in rural Indonesia, and it is the first study to use the LCA study of the co-located solar in the tropics. The first approach revealed that the soil hydrology, grain size distribution, and total carbon and nitrogen are significantly altered from their original state by the construction and presence of photovoltaic arrays, and that those properties had not been restored to their pre-construction levels despite the fact that ten years had passed since re-vegetation of the PV array. The persistence of the altered soil properties meant that the designs regarding re-vegetation or co-location of PV with crops would have to be considered at the beginning of the construction of the PV to minimize the impact on the soil and the existing vegetation. Furthermore, soil moisture was the highest in the soil underneath the western edge of the PV panels, where the western tilt of the PV panel had concentrated the rainfall. The heterogeneity in soil hydrology created by the panels could be manipulated to benefit the growth of vegetation within the PV array. The LCA approach revealed that a hectare of PV arrays with full module density would carbon offsets against diesel electricity generation and the grid, and that the annual supply of electricity from the PV could satisfy the demand of a typical rural Indonesian village several times over. However, the high capital expenditure of solar mean that co-location with full PV module density would not be economically feasible, even with the income stream from the co-located crop cultivation. In order to reduce the capital expenditure, the PV module density for co-location was reduced to half. The combination of reduced capital expenditure and the income stream from the crop made the co-located land use significantly less costly. Additionally, the rural electrification would be able to provide secondary socioeconomic benefits such as avoidance of health costs through operation of public health infrastructures, increased standard of living, and secondary income opportunities from processing of raw materials. However, better subsidies for renewables, specialized loan structures for small-scale renewable systems, and a culture of co-operation between small landholders would need to be implemented before the co-located system becomes affordable to the inhabitants in rural Indonesian villages.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:
L’agrivoltaïque, combinaison de panneaux photovoltaïques et d’une culture sur le même sol, a été proposé en 1982 comme solution au conflit d’usage des sols. Lancé en 2010 à Montpellier, le concept associant panneaux fixes et diverses cultures a fait la preuve d’une productivité combinée de la parcelle améliorée grâce, notamment, à l’acclimatation de la culture à l’ombre. Dans cette thèse, les panneaux fixes ont été échangés par des panneaux orientables au cours de la journée. L’objectif était d’optimiser l’orientation des panneaux pour maximiser la productivité combinée de la parcelle sans pénaliser la culture. Pour cela, la croissance et le développement de laitues ont été analysés en conditions contrôlées et en plein champ sous différentes modalités d’ombrage par panneaux fixes ou mobiles. Les panneaux mobiles ont permis d’améliorer la productivité combinée de la parcelle par rapport à des panneaux fixes, avec un maintien de la production agricole dans certaines conditions. Une approche écophysiologique basée sur le développement de la plante, sa capacité à intercepter et convertir le rayonnement en biomasse, a révélé que les modalités d’ombrage avaient peu d’impact sur la mise en place de la surface foliaire malgré des différences de biomasse accumulée en rapport avec le rayonnement transmis à la plante. Des modifications du développement foliaire ont conduit à une meilleure utilisation du rayonnement transmis lorsque celui-ci était réduit.

Introduced in 2010 in Montpellier, the concept has proven itself associating fixed panels to multiple food crops. Total land productivity was improved, thanks to plant acclimation to shade. In this thesis, fixed panels were replaced with mobile panels, adjustable along the day. The aim of this work was to optimize solar panel orientations to maximise total land productivity without threatening the crop culture. Growth and development of lettuces were analysed in controlled conditions and in the field under several shading conditions by fixed or mobile panels. Total land productivity was improved with mobile panels in comparison with fixed panels, maintaining lettuce yield under certain conditions. Through an ecophysiological approach based on plant development and its ability to intercept and convert light into biomass, the different shading conditions were shown to have a small impact in the plant leaf area dynamic despite large differences in accumulated dry mass associated with transmitted radiation at the plant level. This was due to differences in leaf development resulted in higher use of the transmitted radiation when it was reduced. This study proposed a modelling approach of the incidence of panel orientations on lettuce dry mass at harvest. The model allows an optimisation of solar panels controlling as a function of climate scenario and crop and electricity production objectives

Abstract:
The development of photovoltaic energy requires a lot of land. To maximize the land use, agrivoltaic systems that combine an agricultural and an electrical production on the same land unit are developed. A demonstrator was built in Montpellier (France) with dierent experimental arrangements to study the impact of a xed and a dynamic solutions on the crops below the panels. The eect of shade on lettuces appears to be positive with a Land Equivalent Ratio greater than 1. To extend the experiment to other crops, the crop species best adapted to the agrivoltaic system are identied. The shade tolerance and vulnerability to climate change are key parameters to select crops that will benet the most from the installation of PV panels. The SWOT analysis brings out that agrivoltaic systems can be a solution to maximize the land use and to adapt crops to climate change. The technical constraints imposed by the PV structure must be overcome to deploy this technology on a large scale. The greatest threat lies in the non-acceptability of the projects by farmers and the chambers of agriculture. An agrivoltaic project was developed in the South of France as a rst testing area but was nally abandoned because of too important reciprocal constraints for the farmer and the operator.<br>Utvecklingen av fotovoltaisk energi kräver mycket mark. För att maximera markanvändningen utvecklas agrivoltaiska system som kombinerar en jordbruksproduktion och en elektrisk produktion på samma markenhet. En demonstrant byggdes i Montpellier (Frankrike) med olika experimentella arrangemang för att studera effekterna av en fast och en dynamisk lösning på grödorna under panelerna. Effekten av skugga på sallader verkar vara positiv med en LER som är större än 1. För att utvidga experimentet till andra grödor identiferas de grödor som bäst anpassas till det agrivoltaiska systemet. Skuggtoleransen och sårbarheten för klimatförändringar är viktiga parametrar för att välja grödor som kommer att dra mest nytta av installationen av PV-paneler. SWOT-analysen visar att agrivoltaiska system kan vara en lösning för att maximera markanvändningen och anpassa grödorna till klimatförändringar.  De tekniska begränsningarna som PV-strukturen sätter måste övervinnas för att kunna använda denna teknik i stor skala. Det största hotet ligger i att projekten inte godtas av jordbrukare och jordbrukskamrar. Ett agrivoltaiskt projekt utvecklades i södra Frankrike som ett första testområde men övergavs slutligen på grund av för viktiga ömsesidiga begränsningar för bonden och operatören.

Abstract:
L’agrivoltaïque, association sur une même surface d’une production agricole et d’une production d’énergie d’origine photovoltaïque, apparait aujourd’hui comme une solution innovante pour atténuer les effets du changement climatique, notamment sur le secteur agricole. Déjà imaginé en 1982, les premières expérimentations débutées à Montpellier (France) en 2010 ont montré la pertinence de cette association à travers un maintien des rendements sous certaines conditions, une meilleure efficience d’utilisation du sol ainsi qu’une diminution de la consommation en eau des cultures sous ombrage. Suite à ces travaux pionniers réalisés sous des panneaux photovoltaïques à inclinaison fixe, l’utilisation de panneaux dynamiques à inclinaison variable est apparue nécessaire pour réduire l’hétérogénéité du rayonnement disponible pour la culture mais aussi, adapter la stratégie d’ombrage aux besoins radiatifs de la culture au cours de son développement.La présente thèse avait pour objectif de caractériser et de modéliser l’impact de la présence de panneaux solaires sur le bilan hydrique d’une culture conduite sous dispositif agrivoltaïque dynamique en vue d’optimiser la stratégie d’irrigation et le pilotage de l’inclinaison des panneaux. Les expérimentations menées sur une culture de laitues ont mis en évidence l’intérêt de panneaux dynamiques afin de réduire les hétérogénéités radiatives. Le développement d’un modèle de redistribution des pluies par les panneaux photovoltaïques a permis la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie de pilotage de l’inclinaison en temps réel a permis d’homogénéiser les cumuls observés au sol. L’adaptation d’un modèle de bilan hydrique et de développement de culture par l’ajout d’un module décrivant la dynamique stomatique sous ombrage fluctuant a permis de décrire la consommation en eau de la culture et son développement sous différentes stratégies de pilotage de l’ombrage. Enfin, différentes stratégies de pilotage de l’inclinaison des panneaux photovoltaïque ont pu être simulées et évaluées à l’aide d’un indicateur globale intégrant l’efficience d’utilisation du sol, la productivité de l’eau, le décalage de maturité et les sources d’hétérogénéités pouvant affecter la production de laitues<br>Agrivoltaism, defined as the association on the same land of agricultural and photovoltaic energy production, appears as an innovating concept to dampen some of the effects of climate change, in the agricultural sector. Although the concept was already imagined in 1982, the first experimentations started in 2010 at Montpellier (France) and showed the relevance of this combination by the maintenance of crop yield under certain conditions, the increase of land use efficiency and a reduction of water consumption for the tested crops. Following this pioneering work done under fixed (but not horizontal) photovoltaic panels, the use of "dynamic" panels, i.e. panels with a variable tilting angle, appears necessary to reduce the spatial heterogeneity of the transmitted radiation but also to adapt the shading strategy to the radiation amount required for crop growth.This thesis aims to characterize and to model the impact of the photovoltaic panels on the water budget of the cultivated plot and to progress towards the optimization of irrigation strategies in such systems controlled by the variations in time of the tilting angle of the panels. Experimentations conduced on lettuces showed the benefits of "dynamic" photovoltaic panels to reduce the radiative heterogeneity. Accounting for rain redistribution by the solar panels permits the implementation of a real time strategy to reduce rainfall heterogeneity on the ground surface. The derivation of a water budget and crop development model which describes the dynamics of stomatal conductance under fluctuating shading allows a better simulation of water consumption and crop development for different shading strategies. Finally, various strategies for the piloting of the solar panels could be tested and evaluated by a new, global index combining land use efficiency, water productivity, maturity delays and heterogeneities (in rain and radiation) which can impact production

Abstract:
<p>Land use constraints have motivated investigation into the spatial coexistence of solar photovoltaic electricity production and agricultural production. Previous work suggests that agriculture-photovoltaic (agrivoltaic) systems either decrease crop yield or are limited to shade-tolerant crops. Existing experimental work has also emphasized fixed south-facing configurations with traditional commercial panel shapes, and modeling work is sparse. In this work, the effects of different photovoltaic array configurations and panel designs on field insolation spatial and temporal variation are explored in detail to determine photovoltaic design routes that may increase expected crop yield in agrivoltaic systems. It is found that photovoltaic row orientation is the most influential factor on insolation homogeneity due to shadow migration paths. Additionally, it is shown that utilization of mini-modules in patterned panel designs may create more optimal conditions for plant growth while using the same area of PV, thus improving the land efficiency ratio of the agrivoltaic system. Different solar tracking algorithms are explored to optimize the trade-off between electricity production and expected crop growth. The feasibility of select agrivoltaic systems is explored for multiple U.S. locations. This thesis concludes with recommendations for photovoltaic system designs corresponding with specific crop growth considerations.<br></p>

Abstract:
Agrivoltaic (AV) systems are dual-use land systems that consist of elevated solar panels with crops grown underneath. They offer a solution to the increasing demand for food production and clean renewable energy. The main concern regarding AV systems is the reduced availability of light to crops below the panels. Research to date shows that AV systems are quite productive with total energy and crop production exceeding the outputs of either solar farms or crop production alone. Research also shows that solar panels affect the microenvironment below the panels. The research on AV systems so far considers altering panel density to increase radiation to the crops by varying the distance between rows of panels in an AV solar array. This study examines the crop outputs for Swiss chard, kale, pepper, and broccoli in an AV system with different gap spacings of 2, 3, 4, or 5 feet (AV plots) between panel clusters within rows to determine how much spacing between solar panels is optimal for crop production by comparing these system yields to full sun crop production. This study also examines the effect of the AV system on crop nutrient levels, on soil water content, and crop leaf temperature below the panels. Ultimately, the biomass crop yields of AV plots are restricted significantly for Swiss chard, kale, or pepper compared against the full sun control plot yields but not for broccoli stem + leaf yields. The 4-ft or 5-ft gap distances between panels yield the highest crop biomass of the AV shaded plots. Nutrient levels tend to increase with more shade but the trend is only significant for Swiss chard nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, pepper potassium concentrations, and broccoli phosphorus concentrations. For soil water content it is found that panels have some effect on evapotranspiration and rainfall redistribution at the soil level. Leaf temperatures in the AV plots are lower than leaf temperatures in the control plots on sunny days but not on cloudy days.

Abstract:
Agrivoltaics are renewable energy systems that combine food production with electricity generation from solar photovoltaics (PV). Research and development on agrivoltaics has increased steadily in recent years to address the questions: "How is crop production affected under PV panels?" and "How can energy and food production be co-optimised on the same land?" Beneath solar PV panels, crop production can increase, decrease or remain unaltered depending on the crop species, the design of the PV system and the local environmental conditions. In dry weather and high radiation conditions, agrivoltaics can increase water use efficiency and therefore favour enhanced crop production levels. Simulation models, validated for specific conditions, would be useful to optimise agrivoltaic systems, to define optimal design solutions, to identify the most suitable crop species and to assess agronomic management strategies. Future research should develop modelling platforms that could aid agrivoltaic optimisation, and expand the focus beyond energy and food production to include farm income, food quality, biodiversity and landscape value.

Abstract:
There is an increasing trend across the globe in establishing solar power plants in water ways and dams. This chapter presents, for the first time, the design and analysis of a typical floating solar power plant on the water surface of the Goreagab dam located in Namibia. Engineering design of the components is carried out in Google-SketchUp, and the standard System Advisory Model software is used for performance analysis. Three different case scenarios have been considered to study the possible extents of plant sizes and capacities. Design, simulations, and the analysis strongly favor the possibilities of establishing a floating solar power plant in the Goreagab dam. Additional benefits can be realized if an appropriate agrivoltaic ecosystem is established.
