Planting wheat under photovoltaic panels
PV panels of AVS create shade underneath crop and adversely affects the availability of PAR for wheat crop. Under various shading treatments, shaded area in AVS varied from 24% to 82% and maximum shaded area was observed in high density plot.

Agrivoltaic farming is the practice of growing crops underneath solar panels. Scientific studies show some crops thrive when grown in this way. Doubling up on land use in this way could help feed the world’s growing population while also providing sustainable energy.
Many crops grown here, including corn, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, wheat and pasture grass have already been proven to increase with agrivoltaics. Studies from all over the world have shown crop yields increase when the crops are partially shaded with solar panels.
Producing plants under PV panels has been shown to increase land productivity by 35 %–73 %. In addition, an appropriate PV system design and installation, in conjunction with planting, is required to maximize the benefit of co-producing agricultural crops and electricity.
Height, too, is an issue: Corn and wheat would need taller panels, while shrubby soybeans would be fine with a more squat variety. Thanks to those gaps, crops grown under solar panels.
