Description:
This course introduces students to the integration of photovoltaic (solar) technology with
agricultural practices, exploring its scientific, technological, and socio-economic dimensions. Students will study the principles of agrivoltaic systems, their impact on crops
and livestock productivity, and their role in promoting sustainable agriculture and climate
resilience. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, field visits, and hands-on
simulations, students will develop the knowledge and skills to evaluate, design, and
implement agrivoltaic systems in diverse agricultural contexts.
