Agrivoltaics in India: The Challenges and Opportunities

Future land resource rivalry between agricultural and renewable energy may increase in several nations, including India. The concurrent utilization of land for photovoltaic (PV) power generation and agriculture is known as agrivoltaics, and it presents a viable solution. Research indicates that agrivoltaics can boost agricultural productivity and panel efficiency, which is why farmers and solar developers find it appealing. It offers a cursory analysis of Indian laws that are pertinent to the idea of agrivoltaics. It provides a starting point for talking about the potential of agrivoltaics in India and how it fits into the current energy transformation of the nation. With over a dozen pilot projects now implemented nationwide, India is leading the way in the adoption of agrivoltaics, which has expanded rapidly in the last few years around the globe.
