Agrivoltaic Systems and Crop Performance: A Review of Shading Response Across Species

Abstract

There is real interest in agrivoltaic systems and crop performance right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers
the most value. We pull together the current evidence for agrivoltaic systems and crop performance, covering the methodological,
practical, governance and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where farms and advisors are still
largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here
than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
