The coexistence of solar panels and crops implies a sharing of solar radiation between these two types of production. It can be defined as the practice of integrating solar photovoltaics with agricultural practices, for siting photovoltaic production systems on or adjacent to cropland or grazing land. It implies the symbiotic co-production of both agricultural goods and solar energy, with the intent of optimizing the combined outputs. An [https://nsci.ca/2019/12/05/agrivoltaics-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work/ Ontario company] calls Agrivoltaics \"a perfect combination of solar panels and plants on farmland... to generate crops and energy simultaneously and without conflict.\" Agrivoltaics can be thought of as the scientifically planned  of solar energy production and agricultural production."],"Page image":["File:Agrivoltaics pilot plant at Heggelbach Farm in Germany 5.jpg"],"Page keywords":["Food","Agriculture","Energy","Solar"],"Page language":["en"],"Page title":["Agrivoltaics"],"Page views":[961],"Page year":["Friday, 01-Jan-21 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Tuesday, 14-Apr-26 16:17:11 UTC"]}
