Solar Agriculture

Solar agriculture refers to the integration of solar energy technologies in farming practices. This approach aims to harness solar power to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. It includes the use of solar panels for electricity generation to power farm operations, irrigation systems, and greenhouses. Additionally, solar agriculture can involve techniques such as agrivoltaics, where solar panels are installed in a way that allows crops to grow underneath or around them, optimizing land use and enhancing crop yields while producing renewable energy. The goal is to increase efficiency, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, lower operating costs, and contribute to environmental conservation by utilizing clean energy sources in agricultural practices.
