Groundbreaking study reveals ideal tilt angles for PV panels

A groundbreaking study explores the potential of Agrivoltaics in Ankara, Turkey, addressing the conflict between renewable energy projects and agricultural land. Investigating a 175 m2 system, the research identifies optimal tilt angles, models for PV panels, and assesses AC electrical energy, net profit, and land equivalent ratio for seven crops. The scenario reveals an 11.2% yield increase with M1 model-Thinfilm, while M4 (β = 90.00°) sees a 33.2% yield loss. Kiwifruit emerges as the highest-yielding crop. This innovative solution presents a sustainable balance between energy production and agriculture.
