Crop-Specific Optimization of Bifacial PV Arrays for Agrivoltaic Food-Energy Production: The Light-Productivity-Factor Approach

Agrivoltaics (AV) is an emerging technology having symbiotic benefits for food-energy-water needs of the growing world population and an inherent resilience against climate vulnerabilities. An AV system needs to balance the sunlight sharing between the solar panels and crops to maintain the desired food-energy yields, subject to appropriate constraints. Given the emerging diversity of monofacial a...
