THE IMPACT OF AGROPHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS ON GREENHOUSES WORLDWIDE

Today, volatility in energy prices, heat waves, and water scarcity are putting greenhouse production at risk, while the integration of agrophotovoltaics (APV) offers a simultaneous response to these challenges. APV moderates the microclimate while maintaining DLI/PPFD, reduces cooling and irrigation loads, and moves operations toward electrical self-sufficiency. Therefore, APV is a timely approach for improving the resilience of greenhouse enterprises and lowering production costs globally.
