Agrivoltaic farming is an innovative agricultural practice that combines the cultivation of crops with the generation of solar energy on the same land.   For Farming: The introduction of solar panels creates a microclimate that significantly reduces plant stress from excessive sunlight and heat. This shade provision means water remains in the soil longer thanks to reduced evaporation rates, while plants retain more moisture. Such conditions can dramatically benefit crops that thrive under specific lighting or are prone to heat stress, possibly leading to increased yields and more efficient water use. For Energy Generation: The gentle cooling from plant transpiration…

Focus Points: Flexibility vs Space Efficiency: Ground-mounted panels shine in flexibility, allowing for optimal orientation towards the sun, crucial for maximising energy production. Roof-mounted systems, however, efficiently utilise otherwise unused rooftop space, perfect for those with limited land. Ease of Maintenance: Ground systems offer straightforward access for maintenance, reducing hassle and potentially extending panel lifespan. Roof-mounted options, while less accessible, use premium steel frames from Venture Steel to ensure durability despite the elements. Initial Investment & Long-term Savings: While ground-mounted setups might require a higher upfront investment, they often lead to greater energy production and savings. Roof installations, conversely, present…
