The concept of integrating both food production and energy generation through agrivoltaic
system (AVS) has been evolved in recent times considering the increasing
demands for the land resources and energy, especially electricity. At ICAR-Central
Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, India, an AVS of 105 kW capacity has been
established with three experimental designs in three separate blocks. In all these three
blocks, two different designs were followed: few arrays with gap in between PV
modules and few arrays covered fully with PV module which allows receiving
different amount of intercepted solar irradiation on ground surface, which is required
for crop cultivation in between PV arrays and also below PV panel areas. For
cultivation in areas below PV modules, aromatic grasses viz. Cymbopogon citratus
(lemon grass) and Cymbopogon martini (palmarosa) were grown. Apart from
different arable crops, medicinal plant, e.g. Aloe vera and vegetables Solanum
melongena (brinjal), Spinacia oleracea (spinach) and snapmelon (Cucumis melo L.
Momordica group) were grown.
