This talk will introduce agrivoltaics, the combining of agriculture and photovoltaics on the same land. It will discuss the competition for land use which motivates the field, and general approaches to using arable land for both photovoltaic (PV) energy collection and agriculture. It will then discuss our work integrating PV energy collection and agriculture, the benefits of our system, and the results of our prototype and simulations. Finally, this talk will discuss proposed future improvements to this system.
