“Remarkably, food production doubled under the agrivoltaic system. And because water evaporation from the plants cooled the panels, the solar system itself generated 3% more electricity during the summer, showing how both food and solar production can perform better when done in collaboration”.

Solar and crop production research shows ‘multi-solving’ climate benefits

Agrivoltaics researchers are finding that the multiple benefits from pairing solar power and crops production help increase citizen engagement, support.

Meanwhile, the UK government is doing its best to prevent deployment of solar panels on agricultural land
@peterbrown The UK govt currently operates on an evidence led basis: they see what the science says would be best for everyone, then do the exact opposite.
