The impact of agrivoltaics on soil properties
New research shows how agrivoltaic systems can reshape soil by altering moisture, temperature, and microbial activity, creating heterogeneous zones under and between panels. Proper design and management can boost soil health and crop resilience, especially in degraded or arid regions

The impact of agrivoltaics on soil properties

New research shows how agrivoltaic systems can reshape soil by altering moisture, temperature, and microbial activity, creating heterogeneous zones under and between panels. Proper design and management can boost soil health and crop resilience, especially in degraded or arid regions, though long-term effects remain uncertain.

Agrivoltaics as a systems innovation: Multi-dimensional benefits from global studies across climate, agriculture, energy, and ecosystems.

"From this review, it is projected that implementing agrivoltaics across selected crops and countries could potentially result in an additional agricultural yield of over 1800 million tonnes globally. The maximum theoretical nutritional value of this produce is sufficient to meet the dietary requirements of more than 2.1 billion people annually. This presents a significant opportunity to the world in its fight against hunger"

Projected additional crop yield and income for selected countries: a) Germany, b) Italy, c) U.S., d) China, e) Japan, f) Malaysia, and g) Canada. The left y-axis represents the additional agricultural yield enabled by agrivoltaic integration and is depicted using bars. The right y-axis represents the corresponding economic potential derived from these additional yields and is depicted using diamond markers. Of all the crops evaluated, maize had the highest impact worldwide. Global estimates suggest 1.6 billion tonnes of increased production translating into USD 387 billion of earnings. On the other hand, at a national level, Germany's potato sector performed well - generating USD 3.9 billion in income through 1.28 million tonnes of additional sales. Other crops like lettuce and okra though dispensed lower tonnages for respective countries, but still offered significant gains internationally.
