Agrivoltaic system success: A review of parameters that matter

Abstract

Solar energy is a rapidly growing sector, and agrivoltaic farms are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the world's energy needs. However, as the size and complexity of these farms increase, so do the challenges associated with managing them efficiently. This article presents a comprehensive review of the fundamental parameters that underpin agrivoltaic systems. Focusing on the latest research, this review examines the challenges and opportunities intrinsic to the implementation of agrivoltaic energy systems, paying particular attention to the various parameters that contribute to their performance. These parameters encompass a range of factors such as heat islands, shading factors, and surface energy budget. The review underscores the importance of considering a diverse array of parameters when developing agrivoltaic energy systems to optimize their efficiency and effectiveness.
