Six-year test field shows agrivoltaics can be critical for rice productivity

Researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan have conducted a six-year field experiment using an agrivoltaics system with lowland rice growing underneath. The on-farm trial was conducted in Chikusei, a city in Eastern Japan, between 2018 and 2023. Rice has been cultivated in the study field annually for over 50 years. “Maintaining high crop productivity with

Agrivoltaic systems improve farming in arid regions, say Australian researchers

University of Tasmania (UTAS) researchers have examined the benefits, or not, of agrivoltaic systems (AVS) in three countries and found the technology can most improve agricultural productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. Researching how sunlight interception from solar panels impacts soil moisture, drought resilience, electricity generation and agrifood production in Australia, Iran and Chad, the UTAS School
