Understanding Agrivoltaics and Its Growing Importance

Agrivoltaics refers to the integrated use of land for both agricultural production and solar photovoltaic power generation. This innovative approach allows solar panels to be installed above or alongside crops, enabling the coexistence of two vital sectors-agriculture and renewable energy. By optimizing land use, agrivoltaics addresses challenges related to land constraints, food security, and climate change.

The agrivoltaics market leverages synergies between farming and solar energy to provide an economical and environmentally sustainable solution. In addition, agrivoltaics supports rural development, promotes biodiversity protection, and enables farmers to generate additional income through renewable energy production.

Market Growth Trends and Adoption Scenario

Although the agrivoltaics market is still in its growth phase, adoption has increased significantly in recent years due to the global push toward clean energy. The global installed capacity of agrivoltaics systems increased dramatically from 5 MW in 2012 to approximately 2.9 GW in 2020, highlighting the growing acceptance of this technology.

Experts believe that agrivoltaics can help minimize barriers to food security while accelerating the transition to renewable energy. As the solar energy sector continues to expand, agrivoltaics is expected to play a critical role in addressing land-use conflicts between energy generation and agriculture.

Government Support and Policy Framework

Supportive government policies and financial incentives are essential for the healthy growth of the agrivoltaics market. Subsidies, joint ventures, lease agreements, reduced loan interest rates, and risk mitigation strategies can encourage wider adoption of agrivoltaics systems.

However, strict regulations are required to prevent land misuse and ensure that agricultural productivity is not compromised. Proper planning and enforcement of solar installation standards are crucial, especially in regions where concerns about crop yield reduction exist.

Agrivoltaics as a Climate-Resilient Solution

Climate change, increasing droughts, and extreme weather events have intensified the need for resilient agricultural solutions. Agrivoltaics offers several advantages, including zero-emission solar power generation, enhanced crop protection, and reduced water stress.

Solar panels provide partial shading, which helps protect crops from excessive sunlight, hail, and heavy rainfall. This is particularly beneficial for cool-season crops such as brassicas, which can suffer from heat stress. Shading also reduces soil moisture evaporation, creating a more favorable microclimate for crops and improving working conditions for farm laborers.

At the same time, plants release water vapor that cools solar panels from below, increasing panel efficiency. This mutually beneficial interaction enhances both agricultural output and energy generation.

A notable example is the world's largest agrivoltaics installation located on the edge of China's Gobi Desert, where berries are cultivated beneath solar panels with a total capacity of 700 MW.

Key Drivers and Challenges in the Agrivoltaics Market

The major drivers of the agrivoltaics market include land scarcity, increasing drought frequency, and continuous technological advancements in solar panel design and installation. Collaboration with farmers and minimal interference with agricultural activities are essential for the broader adoption of agrivoltaics.

However, the market faces several challenges, such as the lack of international standards, regulatory hurdles, limited incentive mechanisms, and the need for comprehensive monitoring systems. Greater farmer participation and improvements in economic efficiency are also required to unlock the full potential of the agrivoltaics market.

Agrivoltaics Market Segmentation Analysis

The agrivoltaics market is segmented based on system design, cell type, crop type, and region.

By System Design

Based on system design, the market is bifurcated into fixed solar panels and dynamic systems. The fixed solar panel segment dominated the agrivoltaics market share in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Fixed systems are preferred due to their ease of handling, lower maintenance requirements, and higher power generation efficiency compared to dynamic systems, which require frequent adjustments.

By Cell Type

By cell type, the agrivoltaics market is divided into microcrystalline (monocrystalline) and polycrystalline cells. The microcrystalline segment dominated the market in 2021, accounting for over 51.7% market share, and is expected to grow at a higher CAGR due to superior efficiency and performance in commercial applications.

By Crop Type

Based on crop type, the market is segmented into crops, vegetables, fruits, and others. The crop segment held the largest market share in 2021, driven by increasing extreme weather conditions and the protective benefits offered by solar panels. This segment is expected to continue its dominance, followed by the vegetable segment, during the forecast period.

Regional Outlook of the Agrivoltaics Market

Region-wise, the agrivoltaics market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

North America dominated the agrivoltaics market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period. Factors such as declining arable land availability, strong renewable energy targets, and increasing demand for clean energy solutions are driving regional growth.

Europe and Asia-Pacific are also witnessing rising adoption due to supportive policies, increasing solar installations, and growing awareness of sustainable farming practices. The LAMEA region presents emerging opportunities as governments focus on energy transition and agricultural resilience.

Competitive Landscape

Key players operating in the agrivoltaics market include Next2Sun, Sun'Agri, Ombrea, Namaste Solar, Mirai Solar, SunSeed APV, Enel Green Power S.p.A., JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd., BayWa AG, and Insolight SA. These companies are focusing on innovation, strategic partnerships, and project expansion to strengthen their market presence.
