Responsible agrivoltaics in temperate Europe: Making systems work for plants, people, and climate

Societal Impact Statement Agrivoltaics, the co‐location of solar panels and crops, is increasingly promoted to expand renewable energy without compromising agricultural areas. However, systems that are poorly designed impact productivity, landscape, and ecology, and face public c...

IoT-based monitoring workflow for continuous analysis of apple ripening delay and maturation patterns under agrivoltaics

Abstract Agrivoltaic systems, combining solar energy generation with agricultural activities, offer a sustainable approach to maximising land efficiency. However, these systems can present challenges, such as potential shading effects that may impact fruit quality or crop yields....
