Аннотация:The aim of this research is to analyze the potential of
agrivoltaic systems (AV) on the territory of Russian Federation. Two
configurations of AV systems with 3.2m and 6,4m spacing between
photovoltaic (PV) arrays were investigated and on the 4m distance
above the crop field. The simulation was performed on the 1 ha of
sugar beetroot/lettuce crop field as the most suitable vegetables for
shading conditions. The simulation was performed in the conditions
of Krasnodar region with average annual solar insolation at 4,20
kWh/m2
. Net Present Cost of the agrivoltaic system with minimal
3,2m spacing between the arrays is 558277 $US and cost of energy
of this configuration is 0.7$US/kWh. Net Present Cost of the
agrivoltaic system with 6,4 m spacing between the arrays is
424216$US and Cost of energy is 0,723$US/kWh. Assuming the
reduction of sunlight by 30% from 3,2m spacing and by 10%-20%
from 6,4 spacing, expected yield of crops is supposed to be 70%-
80% of normal yield. Using agrivoltaics for combined use of land
allows increasing the productivity of agricultural land by 45%-70%
according to Land Equivalent Ratio. With creation comfortable
conditions of agrivoltaic development, such systems can have huge
impact on the rural off-grid electrification, creating autonomous
renewable source of energy.
