How airflow modifications in agrivoltaics affect crop yield, energy output

New research from France shows that PV panel height critically influences airflow and evapotranspiration in agrivoltaic systems, with panel heights of less than 3 m affecting crops through altered airflow. The scientists highlighted the need for site-specific measurements and computational fluid dynamics to accurately estimate water and energy exchanges beneath PV panels.Researchers from Cerea, a common Lab between French energy giant EDF and the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC), have investigated how solar panels influence airflow in agrivoltaic installations, finding that panel ...
