Contrasting yield responses at varying levels of shade suggest different suitability of crops for dual land-use systems: a meta-analysis

Moritz Laub et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the yield response of different crops to varying levels of shading. The results showed that most crops tolerate reduced solar radiation up to 15%, with only a slight decline in yield. However, berries, fruits, and fruity vegetables benefited from reduction in solar radiation up to 30%, while maize and grain legumes experienced significant crop yield losses even at low shade levels.

An analytical framework to estimate the economics and adoption potential of dual land-use systems: The case of agrivoltaics

Arndt Feuerbacher et al.

Summary: The study introduces the FEADPLUS framework to assess the economic benefits and adoption potential of dual land-use systems, using agrivoltaics as a case study. It demonstrates how specific farm characteristics affect the adoption potential and economic viability of such systems, highlighting the importance of considering trade-offs and potential synergies.

Sustainable land use with agrivoltaics: photovoltaics diffusion in harmony with food production. Scenario analysis on the agricultural land demand by photovoltaics in Germany until 2050

Stephan Schindele

Summary: Germany's Sustainable Development Strategy aims to reduce land take and increase ground-mounted photovoltaics (PV-GM), but these goals conflict as PV-GM requires industrial land. By replacing PV-GM with agrivoltaics, approximately 60,000 hectares of arable land can be preserved, significantly reducing land take.
