Microclimate under agrivoltaic systems: Is crop growth rate

Agrivoltaic systems are mixed systems that associate, on the same land area at the same time, food crops and solar photovoltaic panels (PVPs). The aim of the present study is to assess whether the growth rate of crops is affected in the specific shade of PVPs. Changes in air, ground and crop temperature can be suspected due to the reduction of incident radiation

6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Panel Microclimate]

Do solar panels affect microclimate and soil thermal regimes?

Our results show, for the first time, the seasonal and diurnal variation in microclimate and soil thermal regimes under PV panels based on parallel observations from two plots in one solar farm for a particular location in the China Gobi Desert. We further summarized the shading and buffer effects of the PV panels.

How do solar panels affect microclimatic conditions?

The studied PV technologies created different microclimatic conditions. Shading and energy intake by the panels changes the energy balance of soil and affects the temperature (Wu et al. 2014). This was seen in both studied solar power plants.

Does solar power plant technology change microclimatic and biota conditions?

Therefore, the existence of biological crust could explain differences between the solar panel area and Reference. This preliminary study showed that PV power plant technology modifies microclimatic and biota conditions, but the way and magnitude of the effects depend on local conditions and power plant’s scale.

Do solar PV panels affect the climate and ecosystem?

For example, despite the sun-shading issue, the integration of herbal plants under solar PV panels showed good growth progress , while the plant diversity and above-ground biomass of a meadow solar park showed a decreasing trend . Currently, both the climate and ecosystem impact of PV implementation are poorly understood.

How do solar parks measure microclimate?

First, different solar parks were visited to take measurements of the surface temperature (T surf), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), air temperature (T air), and humidity (RH) to quantify the microclimate and perform a vegetation relevé. The measurements were taken at different positions: underneath, in between, and outside solar panels.

What will the climate and soil be under PV panels?

Nevertheless, what will the climate and soil be under PV panels are rarely mentioned. Based on one-year observations, a typical Gobi solar park in northwest China was characterized by lower R n and wind speed under PV panels, along with higher rear side air temperatures, as a result of the installation of PV panels.
