“…However, as recent research shows, some crops (e.g. potatoes) actually show greater yields when heavily shaded [ 43 , 44 ]. In these cases, our externality calculations would be too conservative.…”

This study examines the siting scenarios for renewable energy installations (REI) in a mountainous region of Europe (Switzerland), incorporating the external costs of ecosystem services and, innovatively, social preferences. This approach challenges the prevalent techno-economic siting paradigm, which often overlooks these externalities. To minimize the external costs of the scenarios while maximizing energy yield, Marxan, an optimization software, was employed. The energy target for all scenarios is set at 25 TWh/a, stemming from the energy gap anticipated due to the phase-out of Swiss nuclear reactors by 2050. This target is met using renewable energy infrastructure such as wind, roof-mounted photovoltaic, and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. By integrating social preferences into the optimization, this study showcases a promising implementation that transcends the software’s intended applications. It complements techno-economic approaches and offers alternative decision-making avenues. The conventional "roof first" strategy proved ineffective in preventing extensive land use for the development of new renewable energy infrastructure. Strategies incorporating ground-mounted photovoltaic infrastructure were more spatially, ecologically, and socially efficient than those without. The strategy optimized for energy yield exhibited the highest spatial efficiency but incurred significant ecosystem service costs and, surprisingly, had low social costs. In contrast, the strategy prioritizing ecosystem services was the most efficient in terms of ecosystem service costs but had elevated social costs and was spatially less efficient than other strategies. The strategy optimized for social preferences incurred the lowest social costs and excelled in spatial efficiency and ecosystem service costs. Notably, this strategy employed a limited number of planning units linked to both high ecosystem service and social costs. The findings underscore that incorporating social preferences significantly enhances the evaluation of siting options. This inclusion allows for the social acceptance of investments to be factored into costs, facilitating more informed and inclusive decisions.

Agrivoltaic (AV) systems have emerged as a transformative solution to global challenges in food–energy–water security, climate resilience, and sustainable land use. The purpose of this study is to analyze trends, influences, intellectual structures, and future research directions in AV systems research from 2011 to 2023. Using a bibliometric approach guided by the PRISMA framework, 477 documents from the Scopus database were analyzed through performance analysis and science mapping with Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. Key findings reveal exponential growth in research output, with the United States, France, and Germany leading in publications, citations, and international collaboration. Eight thematic clusters were identified, including dual productivity of land use, renewable energy integration, policy implications, and climate adaptation. Influential contributors, such as Joshua M. Pearce, and leading journals, including Applied Energy, shape the field. Emerging areas focus on advanced photovoltaic materials and integrated resource management strategies. This study provides a comprehensive roadmap for advancing AV systems research by identifying critical trends, proposing innovative solutions, and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. Despite limitations, such as database dependency, this analysis highlights AV systems’ transformative potential to achieve global sustainability goals.
