Agriphotovoltaics: innovations and experiences with harvesting solar energy for food and low-carbon electricity generation
Convener: Mahyar Naseri | Co-conveners: Jannik HeusingerECSECS, Matteo Camporese, Annalisa Molini, Michael Young
Agriphotovoltaic (APV) systems represent an emerging technology that can address food and electricity shortages and reduce water consumption, while maintaining or improving soil health. However, beyond technological development, some other aspects of APV also need to be better understood to increase land use and resource efficiency and optimize energy and food production.
The aim of this session is to bring together dimensions of APV installations into the discourse. We invite academics and researchers, policymakers, technology developers, and stakeholders to contribute their knowledge on different aspects of APV, from environmental to economic and social perspectives, through case studies, practical experiences, simulations, and other developments.
Our goal is to share new understandings and recent experiences on measuring and modeling APV systems across a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, technological advances and innovative field designs for efficient energy and food production; ecological, agronomic, and environmental issues related to plants, soil, and climate at different scales; social and economic viability; and policy and regulatory frameworks.
