Growing Greener. First step on the journey to maximize Agri-Voltaic potential

An elevated and advanced agri-voltaic system (agriPV) is a photovoltaic system (PV) integrated with an agricultural crop. Within the Symbiosyst project, various heights are considered in order to best study agri-voltaic systems that integrate with various types of crops (fig. 1 and 2). Although Agri PV is poised for significant growth in the upcoming years, the current industrial landscape lacks advanced analytics tailored specifically to the Agri PV context. Existing performance analytics and monitoring platforms prioritize PV operation over agricultural output, leaving a crucial gap in optimizing the dual functionality of these systems. The objective of this work is to address the problem of monitoring parameters to study and analyse the behaviour of the agri-voltaic system as a whole, and to offer operators in this new sector a platform as a tool to have a global view of the system and optimise the agricultural and energy production of a new plant.
