As Alberta increases conventional solar power generation, land-use conflicts with
agriculture increase. A solution that enables low-carbon electricity generation and continued …

This study aims to quantify the techno-economic potential of using solar photovoltaics (PV)
to support heat pumps (HP) towards the replacement of natural gas heating in a …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) growth can be stalled due to social acceptance. Agrivoltaics can
improve social acceptance by enabling dual use of land. The most popular type of …

Using a trellis to plant vegetables and fruits can double or triple the yield per acre as well as
reduce diseases/pests, ease harvesting and make cleaner produce. Cultivars such as …

To enable lower-cost building materials, a free-swinging bifacial vertical solar photovoltaic
(PV) rack has been proposed, which complies with Canadian building codes and is the …

Agrivoltaic systems integrate agricultural production with solar photovoltaic electricity
generation. Given the proven technical, economic, and environmental co-benefits provided …

Vertical bifacial solar photovoltaic (PV) racking systems offer the opportunity for large-scale
agrivoltaics to be employed at farms producing field crops with conventional farming …

Solar powering the increasing fleet of electrical vehicles (EV) demands more surface area
than may be available for photovoltaic (PV)-powered buildings. Parking lot solar canopies …

Popular agrivoltaic systems use photovoltaic (PV) farms for pasture grazing animals. In
general, these agrivoltaic systems do not reduce the capital cost of a PV farm and in some …

Local indoor farming plays a significant role in the sustainable food production sector. The
operation and energy costs, however, have led to bankruptcy and difficulties in cost …
