| الوصف: | Agrivoltaics describes concurrent agricultural production of crops and photovoltaic generation of electricity on the same cropland. By using tinted semi-transparent solar panels, this study introduces a novel element to transform the concept of agrivoltaics from just solar-sharing to selective utilisation of different light wavelengths. Agrivoltaic growth of basil and spinach was tested. When compared with classical agriculture, the agrivoltaic co-generation of biomass and electricity displayed financial gross gain calculated as +18% for basil and +113% for spinach. This was accompanied by a relative increase in the protein content for both plants grown under agrivoltaic conditions. Agrivoltaics implemented with tinted solar panels improved the photosynthetic use of solar radiation up to 69%, including the source-sink relationship, with up to 63% increase in shoot to root investment. Agrivoltaics can enrich the portfolio of farmers, mitigate risks associated with climate and vastly enhance the global photovoltaics capacity without compromising agricultural production. |
