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

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 …

Canada can radically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by aggressively deploying
agrivoltaics and reach its goal of cutting emissions by increasing the non-emitting share of …

Agrivoltaic fences enable farmers and ranchers to produce energy while maintaining
profitable agricultural activity. They consist of vertical posts between which vertical solar …

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 …

Open-source technological development is well-known for rapid innovation and providing
opportunities to reduce costs and thus increase accessibility for a wide range of products …

To fully analyze the potential of PVs in achieving sustainable energy goals, careful
consideration of the life cycle including the embodied impact is needed. Despite the …

The prohibitive costs of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) racks decrease PV adoption
