Context

Agrivoltaics has been developing for around ten years and its growth could reach around $9 billion by 2030, representing approximately 5% of global investments in solar photovoltaics. In some countries, it could even represent a majority share of projects. It lies at the intersection of three critical current societal issues:

• The energy transition and the move away from fossil fuels, which emit greenhouse gases, through the development of renewable energies,
• Climate change (particularly global warming, the risk of drought and other events such as heavy rainfall, storms, etc.) and its impact on agricultural production,
• Land take, due to intense economic competition over its uses.

General presentation

The AgriPV-Climat project aims to develop the knowledge and methods necessary for the development of a design tool that will not only assess the climatic impacts of solar modules on agricultural production but also the impacts of crops on solar production, and propose optimizations in the control of the panels.
