Testing the effect of semi-transparent spectrally selective thin film photovoltaics for agrivoltaic application : A multi-experimental and multi-specific approach
© 2024 The Authors..
The integration of photovoltaic technologies within the agricultural framework, known as agrivoltaics, emerges as a promising and sustainable solution to meet the growing global demands for energy and food production. This innovative technology enables the simultaneous utilization of sunlight for both photovoltaics (PV) and photosynthesis. A key challenge in agrivoltaic research involves identifying technologies applicable to a wide range of plant species and diverse geographic regions. To address this challenge, we adopt a multi-experimental and multi-species approach to assess the viability of semi-transparent, spectrally selective thin-film silicon PV technology. Our findings demonstrate compatibility with crop production in controlled environments for both plants and algae. Notably, selective thin-film PV exhibits the potential to enhance crop yields and serves as a photo-protectant. We observe that plant and algal growth increases beneath the selective PV film when supplemented with appropriate diffuse light in the growth environment. Conversely, in situations where light intensity exceeds optimal levels for plant growth, the selective PV film provides a photo-protective effect. These results suggest potential supplementary benefits of employing this technology in regions characterized by excessive light irradiation, where it can contribute to healthy plant growth.
