In this episode we discuss the concept of Agrivoltaics, which combines agriculture and solar energy production.
FDL will host Theresa Krexner and Dr. Alexander Bauer, both from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna (https://boku.ac.at/en/), and discuss with them their research on the environmental impacts of different Agrivoltaic systems compared to mono-use of land.
They find that Agrivoltaics can decrease environmental impacts and have potential benefits such as water retention, reduced wind speed, improved crop yields and increased modules efficiency. The study also explores the influence of module production location and energy density on environmental impacts.
