UC-Davis Agrivoltaics Research and Affordable-Safe Food Act

This is Bob Larson from Ag Information Network. We will deliver the latest information on agribusiness.**Researchers at the University of California, Davis are studying the efficiency of an agrivolta to grow crops in the shade of solar panels.

Researchers published in the journal Earth’s Future found that certain parts of the light spectrum are good for plant growth, while others are perfect for solar power.

Their analysis suggests that solar energy is produced more efficiently in the blue part of the light spectrum, while the red part is better for plants.
