Agrivoltaic

Agrivoltaic is a type of farming that combines agriculture and solar energy production. It is like a mix of farming and solar energy. Farmers can use agrivoltaic to grow crops and at the same time generate electricity from the sun. The solar panels are placed over the agricultural land, allowing the sunlight to reach the plants without blocking the sunlight needed for photosynthesis and growth. The solar energy produced by the panels is used to power homes and businesses. Agrivoltaic also provides shade for the crops and helps to keep the soil cooler, which can help the growth of the plants.
