Optimal elevated agrivoltaic system design and key performance indicators across Europe based on three crop light levels

Optimal elevated (stilted) agrivoltaic system design (PV coverage ratio) is given on a European gridded level (25km grid and NUTS3 regions) based on three light levels: shade-loving crops (daily light integral (DLI) of 12 mol/m²day), shade-tolerant crops (DLI of 12 mol/m²day) and shade-intolerant crops (DLI of 25 mol/m²day)

Estimations of other performance indicators are given: power capacity (kWp/ha), energy production (MWh/ha), levelized cost of electricity (€/MWh) and land equivalent ratio (LER -).

The assumptions and methodology of this dataset can be found in the article "Geospatial assessment of elevated agrivoltaics on arable land in Europe to highlight the implications on design, land use and economic level."
