“…In order to accelerate the adoption of the technology, we should clarify the meaning and classification of agrivoltaic technology, develop appropriate standards, and formulate rules and frameworks in favor of agrivoltaic technology, as well as developing programs and policies to stimulate the adoption of agrivoltaic technology [6]. Agricultural photovoltaic demonstration projects have been carried out all over the world and experience has been gained in various design solutions for commercial use [7]. The potential effects of agricultural photovoltaic design characteristics on the microclimates of solar farms and solar photovoltaic module surface temperatures were investigated [8].…”

Due to the shortage of fossil energy, environmental pollution, climate change and a series of problems, China is developing photovoltaic (PV) energy and other clean sources of energy. The flexible application of photovoltaic energy makes is an ideal choice. First, this paper clearly describes the significance of the economic value of a PV + model, analyzes its composition of , and then builds the PV + economic value evaluation model. Finally, a PV + model from the agriculture and aquaculture industry is taken as an example to evaluate its economic value. Through data calculations, the feasibility of the PV + economic value evaluation model proposed in this paper is verified. The results show that the model can not only promote the development of photovoltaic energy, but also bring a spillover value to the decentralized economy. The contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) The existence of the spillover value of a PV + model is proposed for the first time. (2) The value of the distributed PV + model is revealed from its essential attributes and characteristics, and a method for the quantitative calculation of the spillover value is proposed. (3) Three cases of the spillover value for the economic value of the PV + model are proposed, and the relationship between the spillover value and local adoption of PV + model to absorb distributed PV is discussed.

“…Addressing the limitations in harnessing solar energy for agricultural purposes demands immediate attention and further research. The conversion of arable land into photovoltaic (PV) plants is a relatively recent trend, with PV technology being used to generate electricity for heating, cooling, and lighting in greenhouses [10]. This approach reduces reliance on the power grid or fossil fuels.…”

This paper examines the innovative impact of an automated system developed by the research and production company Gardens of Chechnya, which combines computer vision technologies and image data analysis methods to effectively assess plant health at the embryonic stage. Traditional visual data analysis methods have been labour-intensive and time-consuming, creating barriers to crop production and quality. The automated system developed for the company's scientific needs, based on computer vision, has excellent accuracy, allowing it to examine plants at a new level and detect even the slightest signs of disease and infection. This innovation speeds up the assessment process, reducing it from days to hours. The mobility of the system allows it to be used in various agricultural conditions, which simplifies the assessment of plant health. By making it easier to assess plant health, this innovation promises increased yields, reduced disease spread and faster results, meeting global goals for food security and sustainable agriculture.

“…The critical aspect of this solution is to design a cost-effective multi-passband filter that separates sunlight [13,14]. SCAPV represents one of the two main strategies for mitigating the shading problem in APV [15]. The second solution is Even-lighting APV (EAPV) [16,17], which aims to improve the structural design of APV by placing grooved glass plates between two PV panels.…”
