3. The agrivoltaic solution
3.1 A response to an agricultural need
The agrivoltaic solution meets a need for adaptation to climate change. It consists of two parts: a structure that can be built according to farming needs and practices, and software to control it by optimizing the microclimate.
SCROLL TO TOP3.1.1 Control panels according to plant needs
Historically, the first agrivoltaic experiments were developed using fixed panels above crops. However, panel installation schemes using densities similar to those of ground-mounted...
