Abstract

Agrivoltaic (AV) systems, which represent a sophisticated integration of solar energy generation techniques alongside conventional agricultural practices, offer a promising and strategically viable approach to effectively address the rapidly escalating global demand for renewable energy sources, while simultaneously promoting the sustainable utilization of land resources in an era of environmental concern. This novel concept fulfills sustainable development goals (SDG) 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, and 13. This comprehensive systematic review article meticulously investigates the multifaceted dimensions of AV such as installation management, advanced technologies (artificial intelligence/machine learning) into AV frameworks for both crop cultivation and livestock shelter purpose, significant microclimate alterations, the shading influences on crop productivity and optimization of land use practices to maximize efficiency as well as sustainability. This review shows that the Land Equivalence Ratio (LER) consistently greater than 1.0, validating the enhanced productivity of co-location. Ultimately, the review conducts a thorough evaluation of the intricate international policy environment by providing a clear, structured framework that categorizes policies into financial, regulatory, and technological enablers. That could potentially facilitate and expedite the widespread adoption of this innovatively transformative technology within the agricultural and energy sectors. Research and development suggested for recommend PV synergies at every different aspects for future farmovoltaics application. This review provides a detailed overview of AV potential as a sustainable, economically feasible, and strategically advantageous solution for future agricultural practices as well as energy production in a rapidly changing world.

农业光伏系统全球概览：未来粮食和能源安全

农业光伏（AV）系统代表了太阳能发电技术与传统农业实践的复杂整合，为有效解决全球对可再生能源快速增长的需求提供了一种有前途和战略上可行的方法，同时在环境问题时代促进土地资源的可持续利用。这个新颖的概念实现了可持续发展目标（SDG） 2、3、7、9、12和13。这篇全面的系统综述文章细致地研究了AV的多个方面，如安装管理，先进技术（人工智能/机器学习）纳入作物种植和牲畜庇护所的AV框架，显著的小气候变化，遮阳对作物生产力的影响以及优化土地利用实践，以最大限度地提高效率和可持续性。研究表明，土地等效比（LER）持续大于1.0，验证了共址的生产力提高。最后，本报告通过提供一个清晰、结构化的框架，将政策分为金融、监管和技术推动因素，对错综复杂的国际政策环境进行全面评估。这可能会促进和加快这一创新变革技术在农业和能源部门的广泛采用。研究和发展建议建议光伏协同效应在各个不同的方面，为未来的农业光伏应用。这篇综述详细概述了在快速变化的世界中，AV作为一种可持续的、经济上可行的、具有战略优势的解决方案在未来农业实践和能源生产中的潜力。
