The coexistence of agricultural land and solar photovoltaics (PV) can be named
Agriphotovoltaics (APV). APV concept was developed two decades ago however its actual …

Greenhouses play a crucial role in food production and economic growth in northern regions
but contribute significantly to energy consumption and carbon emissions. To address this …

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 …

Fixed-tilt mechanical racking, consisting of proprietary aluminum extrusions, can dominate
the capital costs of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Recent design research has …

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 …

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