New Research Confirms Benefits Of Agrivoltaics
There is a movement afoot in America to prevent solar panels from being erected on farmland. The thinking appears to be that people have to eat and farmers supply us with food, so, solar installations on farmland are a danger to our American way of life, a precursor to starvation, and possibly a communist plot designed to dilute our precious bodily fluids. Like all good lies, there is a kernel of truth to the anti-solar argument.
“These results indicate that ground conditions and panel height play important roles in solar farm cooling and that agrivoltaic systems can potentially help to resolve the global food-energy crisis by improving solar PV conversion efficiency while enabling agricultural production on the same land.”Agrovoltaics doesn’t sound so scary after you read something like that abstract.
They found that a reduction in temperatures beneath the solar panels was due to the amount of light reflected by the soybeans — 70% versus just 20% from bare ground — which cooled the ground surface and reduced the amount of heat the panels were exposed to. The height of the panels was also important. The modeling revealed that mounting solar panels on legs that stood 4 meters above the crops created the optimal conditions for convective cooling to occur between the ground and the units.
