Virginia defines agrivoltaics, expanding opportunities for solar

Virginia sets a legal definition for agrivoltaics, opening a new lane for solar on working farmland

Virginia signed a bill on June 17 defining agrivoltaics in state law.
Projects must sustain agricultural productivity while generating solar power.
The law could expand distributed solar while keeping farmland in commercial use.

Agrivoltaics Gains Ground, but Global Scale and Local Conditions Still Decide What Works

Agrivoltaics can help crops and solar output in some hot, dry environments, but not universally.
The supplied source identifies China, not the US, as the clear leader in deployment scale.
Different forms of agrivoltaics have different economics and should not be treated as interchangeable.

South Korea’s first agrivoltaics law leaves half of farmland off-limits

South Korea passes first agrivoltaics law, but nearly half its farmland still stays off-limits

South Korea approved its first dedicated agrivoltaics law to support combined farming and solar generation.
The law extends land-use permits for agrivoltaic projects from eight years to 23 years.
Zones covering nearly half of the country’s farmland remain excluded, limiting the policy’s immediate reach.

New irrigation tech helps reduce water use in agrivoltaics

Spanish Agrivoltaics Trial Cuts Tomato Irrigation Roughly in Half

Spanish researchers tested tomatoes under agrivoltaic systems in Madrid and Seville.
The study paired solar-panel shading with regulated deficit irrigation.
Reported water savings were about 50% while maintaining dual land use for crops and power.

Agrivoltaics Can Save Farmers From Wind Damage, Too

Agrivoltaics Study Suggests Solar Arrays Could Double as Wind Shields for U.S. Farms

Cornell researchers modeled how single-axis tracking solar panels affect airflow across cropland.
The study says wind erosion costs U.S. agriculture more than $9 billion annually.
Agrivoltaic arrays could add wind protection to known benefits such as water conservation and improved soil conditions.
