For planting oil under photovoltaic panels
With agrivoltaic farming, growing vegetables under solar panels could help feed the world's growing population and meet net-zero targets at the same time.

The key findings show that mutual benefits arise when solar panels provide shade, acting as windbreaks that don't compete for water, enhancing agricultural production. Meanwhile, the cooling effect from plant evapotranspiration can improve the efficiency of solar collectors by reducing their temperature, boosting energy output.
Its 3,276 solar panels can power 300 homes. About 45 minutes north of Golden, Colo., they’ve been generating electricity since 2020. Farmers there have planted flowers and food on test plots. By working with scientists, they’re investigating how to maximize their yields of both food and electricity.
These systems, referred to as ‘solar sharing’, consist of PV panels mounted on poles with a 3-m ground clearance. They combine solar energy production with the cultivation of various local food crops such as peanuts, yams, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, taros and cabbages. A few APV projects have also been implemented in Europe in recent .
One way to overcome the severe limitation of opaque agrivoltaics is to design new PVs that can maintain plant yield and quality by minimizing PV impact on transmission of photons with.
