- Study conducted in Boekel, Netherlands
- Distance between module rows 0.42m, south tilt,
- Modules - Two treatments - 60% and 75% of the area covered with solar cells
- Results:
- Specific leaf area increased
- Total leaf area per plants decreased 19% and 39% compared to reference
- Vegetative dry matter reduced 41% and 57%
- Fresh weight of fruit reduced 23-25% and 27-40%
- Conclusion:
- Strawberries required more lighting - adjust transparency of modules or inter row spacing
- Meta-analysis performed
- Strawberry yield response is susceptible to shading in general
Growth and Physiological Characteristics of Strawberry Plants Cultivated under Greenhouse-Integrated Semi-Transparent Photovoltaics
[edit | edit source]- Location: The University of Patras, Greece; closed agrivoltaic system, semitransparent PV modules; slope of PV - 24o, theoretical shading 51.08%,
- Results:
- Shading resulted in smaller plants without a major difference in number of leaves, while number of flowers and size of the fruits was lower
- Total phenolic content and free-radical-scavenging activity increased with shading - improving the quality characteristics of the fruit
Economic and Agronomic Impacts of Agrivoltaics on Arable Land Use at the Example of the Stuttgart Region 10.30430/gjae.2023.0334
[edit | edit source]- Location: Stuttgart Region; 5m high modules, 19m inter-row spacing
- Expert-N used to estimate average yields
- Increased yield of strawberry - 4% to 15.6% - based on literature
- Locations: Oregon and North Carolina (Strawberries)
- Colocation can diversifty income and increased worst case net revenues by 48%-53%
- Higher annual NPV when compared wot farm only or solar only scenarios
The effect of temperature and light on strawberry production in a solar greenhouse
[edit | edit source]- Location: Kunming, China; Closed agrivotlaics system - 25.9% of roof covered with PV
- 20% higher strawberry yield; 30% higher chlorphyll content; 3.3% higher soluble solid contents showing better growth and quality
