In a two-year study near Lake Constance in southwest Germany, the researchers found that potatoes thrived when agrivoltaics were incorporated into the land use plan. . Frontiers | The effect of agrivoltaic system on nutrient content, yield, and water productivity of potatoes Frontiers inHorticulture About us About us Who we are Mission and values History Leadership Awards Impact and progress Frontiers' impact Our annual reports Thought leadership Publishing model. . Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of SCAPV and EAPV on evapotranspiration (ET) and sweet potato quality and yield. We conducted three treatments: SCAPV, EAPV, and open-air (CK). We planted 32 m2 of sweet potatoes and placed a weather station in each treatment. Our results showed. . Therefore, SCAPV and EAPV positively affect dry matter accumulation and enhance the sweet potato's growth. Crops grown under solar panels were 2-4 times more productive. Potential benefits to the crops will derive from lower plant temperatures, reduced sunburn and improved fruit set. Tomato, lettuce, pepper, cucumbers and strawberries opaque PVs are appropriate for shade-tolerant crops.

Agrivoltaics refers to any type of farming or crop cultivation that occurs underneath or around solar panels. Crops can thrive under solar panels since they protect from the harsh sun. Tomato, lettuce, pepper, cucumbers and strawberries opaque PVs are appropriate for shade-tolerant crops. The knowledge gap between various stakeholders such as solar PV researchers,agricultural. . Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of SCAPV and EAPV on evapotranspiration (ET) and sweet potato quality and yield. We conducted three treatments: SCAPV, EAPV, and open-air (CK).
