Agrivoltaic cold frame system for controlled-environment crop cultivation

An international research team has designed an agrivoltaic cold frame system for controlled-environment crop cultivation. Cold frames are simple, low-tech horticultural structures typically consisting of a transparent or translucent cover over a low enclosure used to protect plants and create a warmer microclimate, extending the growing season. In general, a cold frame is a small, unheated enclosure that protects plants from harsh weather and extends the growing season by creating a more favorable microclimate. "We upcycled EV charging-station crates into agrivoltaic cold frames to test the potential ...
