Which agrivoltaic system should I use for my olive groves?
What type of agrivoltaic installation is best for olive groves?
"The vertical inclination of the photovoltaic panels was found to be optimal for maximising the yield of olive trees", said the author of the study. "This unexpected finding highlights the nuanced interaction between the orientation of photovoltaic panels and the agricultural productivity of olive trees in agrivoltaic systems."
