Researchers make shocking discovery after examining vineyard grown under solar panels
Solar panels produce clean, renewable energy without spreading excessive floating air pollution, so I hope we will see much more in the coming years. However, a disadvantage of solar panels is that they can take up too much space.
Fortunately, the developing area of Agrivoltaics takes this disadvantage and makes it positive as an Agrrivoltaics Pilot program in France has recently exhibited. PV magazine reported.
Agrivoltaics refers to the application of using the shadow provided by solar panels with farming. Agrrivoltaics allows farmers to continue to make money through farming instead of replacing their agricultural lands with solar series, while at the same time making money from renting that land to solar companies.

Some examples include using the shaded space under solar panels to allow sheep to graze or focus on growing crops that may develop without direct sunlight.
In France, of course, the experiment involved grape growth for wine making. French Agrrivoltaics Company Sun’agri launched two pilot programs in Domaine de Nidolères in Pyrénées-OrienTales in the south of France. reported This has not only increased the efficiency, not only the grapes that can grow under solar panels.
The yield of Chardonnay grapes increased by 60%, which increased at 30%at MARSELAN and Grenache Blanc at 20%.

Sun’agri said that grapes that grow under the shadow of the solar panel allow them to optimize the process by controlling the temperatures and reducing irrigation needs. The panels also helped protect against frost.
The PV magazine was the production of an unwanted side effect of the experiment with a little less alcohol and wine that could be a benefit or disadvantage, depending on your perspective.
Ultimately, more solar energy and more wine, this pilot program seems quite a good result for the program. Hopefully, the success of this experiment helps more farmers to facilitate dirty energy, while encouraging agrrivoltaics as a way to optimize resources.
