Hydro-Agrivoltaic projects are important because they combine water management with solar energy production to enhance land use efficiency and promoting sustainable agriculture. This approach can help mitigate climate change impacts while providing renewable energy and improving crop yields. Hydro agrivoltaic projects combine hydroelectric power generation with agricultural practices. This innovative approach offers several key benefits.
“Hydro-AgriVoltaic” refers to an Agri-Voltaic system that integrates solar energy production with agriculture, specifically incorporating water-related technologies or benefits, potentially through water-saving strategies like hydrogels that capture atmospheric water for irrigation, or by generating fresh water for crops. Agrivoltaics, or dual-use solar, are systems that pair solar panels with agricultural uses, leading to maximized land use, improved crop resilience through micro-climates, and reduced water needs.
