Many gigawatts of solar PVprojects in China are co-located with agriculture,which theoretically maximizesthe land’s potential. But inmany cases, developers onlyplant on the land to receivebuilding permits, even thoughthe soil is not really suitablefor farming. Shading from thesolar modules decreases cropyield, while the modules alsoprevent access to agriculturalequipment so that farmingrequires more labor.

Some points for discussion…Investments costs for PV at 3-4 m height (min 10-15% higher)- Foundation und Ramming +50%- Higher matieral costs +50%- Structure Installation costs + 50%- More Land for same capacity+- Mostly no additional water required for cleaning system

O&M costs- Higher cleaning costs+- Additional water?

Farming related- Less land available for farming- Changing/rotating crops requires different shading/sun light exposure- Doesn’t work for all crops- More complicated for farmers managing the space / additional work- More or even a lot less produce?- Possibility of rainwater harvesting from PV but at additional costs

Legal- Permission for PV on farming land?
