Optimal solar module row spacing for agrivoltaics across Europe

Researchers in Sweden developed a new methodology to optimize agrivoltaic systems across Europe, showing that row pitch, system type, and panel orientation must be tailored to local climate, crops, and regulatory constraints.Scientists at Sweden's Mälardalen University have proposed a new methodology to improve land equivalent ratios (LERs) in agrivoltaic facilities across Europe. LER is a concept used in agriculture to measure the efficiency of intercropping. It defines how much land would be needed under monoculture conditions to achieve the same yield as under combined use. In agrivoltaics, ...
