Description:
Objective: Provide students with a comprehensive understanding of agrivoltaics as a sustainable
method for maximizing land use for two key purposes: generating renewable energy and producing
bioenergy crops. By examining how photovoltaic systems can be integrated with agricultural
practices, students will learn about the various components of agrivoltaics, how shading affects
crop growth, and biotechnological methods that improve plant resilience beneath solar panels.
