IEA PVPS has published a new Task 13 fact sheet, Overview and Performance of Agrivoltaics, covering key technical, operational, and contextual aspects of agrivoltaic systems and providing a comprehensive summary of the recenly published Task 13 report on agrivoltaic systems.
Agrivoltaics enables the simultaneous use of land for agriculture and PV electricity generation, helping address land-use competition while maintaining productive farmland. The fact sheet outlines system definitions, performance considerations, and the influence of agrivoltaics on microclimate, crop growth, and PV yield, highlighting the need for integrated assessment and long-term monitoring.
The publication also touches on legal, social, and economic aspects, underlining the importance of clear definitions, agricultural relevance, and transparent project development.
