| Abstract | Agrivoltaic systems use the same parcel of land for agricultural (crop or livestock) production and solar photovoltaic electricity generation. This CAREER project will develop modeling tools needed to evaluate the sustainability and scalability of agrivoltaic systems across major agricultural regions of the United States. The project will combine field data, modeling, and design to identify how configurations of agrivoltaic systems affect crop yield and quality, land use efficiency, and electric |
