Peter Brown“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”.
Meanwhile, the UK government is doing its best to prevent deployment of solar panels on agricultural land
jramskov@peterbrown I think the issue here in Denmark has long been that it's not been easy or economical to put solar on the roofs of factories and such, which is simply stupid. I'd rather see solar there.
@jramskov I think the issue is that the roof is designed to take a certain load, assuming a heavy snowfall, and the solar panels would probably then exceed the maximum loading for the roof.
@peterbrown perhaps some places, but certainly not all and not parking lots.
