“…Many researchers around the world are now focusing on these studies, aimed at both the development of agriculture and the improvement of solar devices, including the development of alternative energy [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. According to the results of studies and experiments, the combination of solar energy with crops, with the right scientific approach, may increase crop yields on the one hand, and generate environmentally friendly energy on the other [21].…”

“…Global demand for energy leads to an increase in the need for the use of green energy for irrigation, domestic purposes, etc. The studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][53][54][55] describe the solar concentrators installed in combination with an agricultural field infrastructure. They show the economic feasibility of these systems in some rural areas and their opportunities for the electrification of the latter, while stimulating their economic growth.…”

We have developed several prototypes of solar concentrators that are compact, light, and inexpensive. As an example of solar concentrators, we selected parabolic solar concentrators with plane mirrors that approximate the parabolic surface. A methodology is proposed for the evaluation of the impact of combinations of solar concentrators together with certain agricultural crops. The proposed mathematical model is simple and applicable for different cases of combination of solar concentrators and agricultural fields. This study is dedicated to renewable energy on the example of two countries, Mexico and Azerbaijan. The relief and climate of both countries have many common features, which are expressed particularly in the abundance of solar radiation, the predominance of mountainous regions with remote and hard-to-reach settlements that need to create autonomous life support systems. The main problem for proposed solar concentrators is the automatization of the assembly process of these solar concentrators. We proposed two methods of assembly that is, using a parabolic rule and using a robotic arm with a stereoscopic vision system. Both methods are described in this chapter.

“…In a case study [43], agrivoltaics benefited Australia's state and federal government by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, it was shown in [71] that the use of agrivoltaics in Turkey could produce 75% of the estimated electricity consumption in 2021. Similarly, according to Gonocruz et al, agrivoltaics with rice paddies in Japan can generate 284 million MWh/year [72].…”

India is a leader when it comes to agriculture. A significant part of the country’s population depends on agriculture for livelihood. However, many of them face challenges due to using unreliable farming techniques. Sometimes the challenges increase to the extent that they commit suicide. Besides, India is highly populated, and its population is steadily increasing, requiring its government to grow its GDP and increase its energy supply proportionately. This paper reviews integrating solar farming with agriculture, known as Agrivoltaics, as a Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) option for Indian farmers. This study is further supported by the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of agrivoltaics. Using the SWOT analysis, this article presents how agrivoltaics can make agriculture sustainable and reliable. This paper identifies rural electrification, water conservation, yield improvement, sustainable income generation, and reduction in the usage of pesticides as the strengths of agrivoltaics. Similarly, the paper presents weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to agrivoltaics in India. The research concludes with the findings that agrivoltaics have the potential of meeting multiple objectives such as meeting global commitments, offering employment, providing economic stability, increasing clean energy production capacity, conserving natural resources, and succeeding in several others. The paper also includes a discussion about the findings, suggestions, and implications of adopting agrivoltaics on a large scale in India.

“…This approach is increasingly being used for evaluating the potential of renewable energy sources as it is a low-cost, rapid, and reliable tool. There are several studies in the research literature that investigate the potential of solar power, wind power, hydropower, biomass and, more recently, green hydrogen, using GIS-MCDM (including AHP) methods [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. These methods allow us to take into account a wide range of factors, capture their spatial patterns, and optimise the identification of favourable elements while minimising any potential drawbacks.…”

Agrivoltaics’ share of renewable generation is relevant for countries to achieve their energy transition targets. Agrivoltaics is the dual and synergistic use of the land by agricultural crop production and photovoltaic (PV) systems. For their development around a country, a fundamental step is to determine which areas are suitable. This research work has developed a methodological framework for a reliable agrivoltaic land eligibility analysis at regional scale based on a spatial multicriteria analysis (i.e., GIS/MCDM-AHP). The challenging step has been to select a set of relevant criteria, also based on experts’ knowledge, able to capture the factors that can affect both the solar PV potential and agriculture-oriented factors. On the basis of these criteria, properly weighted, a 30 m-resolution land eligibility map for agrivoltaic systems has been generated for the NUTS-2 regions of Italy. We have found that Italy has an eligible area of 10.7 million hectares and a capacity potential of 6435 GW, assuming an installed power density of 0.6 MW/ha. Thus, a land coverage of only 1.24% of this area would allow to reach the national 80 GW target of new renewable capacity to achieve the country’s decarbonisation and energy transition objectives by 2030. The potential of installed capacity results at GW scale for the main land categories of arable land and permanent crops if they are just covered by only 5% with agrivoltaic systems. Thus, the impact of agrivoltaic systems development on land occupation can be considered marginal especially in relation to benefits generated for both the energy and agricultural sectors. Such a method is essentially targeted to regional authorities for planning the sustainable development of agrivoltaic systems at the local level.
