Data on Crop Yield, Nutrient Content of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and Weather of a Vertical Agrivoltaic System in Sweden

The dataset location is latitude 59.55° N and longitude 16.76° E in Kärrbo Prästgård, Sweden. 

Crop data:

Raw data of barley related to yield kernels and straws (kg DM/ha), nitrogen content in kernels (%), crude protein in kernels (%), kernels yield (kg DM/ha), straws yield (kg DM/ha), starch content in kernels (%), and thousand kernel weight (%) from the harvest on September 12th, 2023, at the agrivoltaics research site in Kärrbo Prästgård, Sweden. Fifty squared samples (each 0.25 m2) distributed in 5 groups (A, B, C, D, E) were collected according to the layout presented in the corresponding publication. Groups A, B and C are based on the spatial location in the crop area between the three vertical rows of PV modules: west side (A), center side (B) and east side (C). Group R corresponds to the reference control plot conditions. Group D represent the crops that are growing in the space between the rows of the conventional ground-mounted PV system with 30° tilt.  

Weather data:

1-hour timeseries averaged data measurements at local time, raw data, not quality controlled from the barley growing season at Kärrbo Prästgård, Sweden from May 7th to September 12th,2023.

Temperature of air (°C), relative humidity (%), relative air pressure (hPa), wind speed (m/s), and precipitation (mm/h) are measured with a Lufft WS600-UMB Smart Weather Sensor located on-site on a 5 m height mast.

Global and diffuse horizontal irradiance (W/m2) are measured with a Delta-T SPN1 Sunshine Pyranometer.

Photosynthetically active radiation (µmol/m2/s) is measured with an Apogee PAR Quantum sensor SQ-500.
