Introduction to Agrivoltaics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This lecture provides an introduction to Agrivoltaics (AgriPV), highlighting its role in supporting climate neutrality objectives. General options for Photovoltaic (PV) installations are reviewed and the characteristics of various ground-mounted systems are explained. A core focus is defining which systems qualify as AgriPV based on their function and design. The lecture specifically examines different AgriPV configurations and discusses their distinct advantages for co-locating energy and food production. Additionally the AgriPVplus approach is introduced utilising the unique demonstrator located at the Hochschule Anhalt (HSA) Bernburg campus.
