Adomavicius, V., Kaunas Univ. of Technology (Lithuania)
The article provides an overview of agro-photovoltaic systems already implemented and researched or tested in the world, describes the results of exploitation of such systems, their efficiency, benefits for agriculture, possibilities for further research, and for the development of green electricity production. Some information is also provided in order to show the viability of the development of photovoltaic power plants, their environmental friendliness, and their important role in halting climate change. The results of the researches of the globally implemented agro-photovoltaic systems show the indisputable efficiency of these systems and their obvious advantage over the traditional agricultural technologies. As the results of the research show, dual land exploitation for agriculture and electricity generation by agro-photovoltaic systems almost doubles the land use efficiency (up to 186%). Some suggestions are discussed for further researches of agro-photovoltaic systems. The history of implementation of agro-photovoltaic systems began less than 20 years ago. So far, now we have only a small group of leading countries in this area, but in most of the remaining countries, these systems are still unknown and untested. Therefore, the goal of this overview was to disclose the efficiency of the agro-photovoltaic systems, their viability, and to contribute to the dissemination of information in order to pave the way for acceleration of progress in this promising field of agriculture.
