Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems: A clean-energy, low
Two poly houses were installed; the fogger and cooling system are powered through solar energy, otherwise the costs would be too high. The electricity produced on-farm is also used for other
From an energy perspective, the integration of photovoltaic systems in an agricultural context not only reduces dependence on external energy sources but also minimizes emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels in agricultural activities.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated photovoltaic system that combines solar energy generation and rainwater harvesting, aiming to enhance water and energy sustainability in arid and semi-arid agricultural regions where torrential rainfall occurs.
The implementation of this integrated photovoltaic system enhances crop resilience to climate variability conditions, such as drought periods or irregular rainfall. Its multifunctional design allows for efficient resource use, integrating environmental sustainability with agricultural productivity.
Unlike conventional photovoltaic systems, which occupy large land areas and may compete with agriculture, agrivoltaics enables a synergistic coexistence between both activities, providing economic and environmental benefits (Roxani et al. 2023; Arjun et al. 2023; Janota et al. 2023).
