Fraunhofer ISE researchers in Germany studied optimized tracking for single-axisagrivoltaic systems to balance light distribution between crops and solar panels. A case study in a southwestern German apple orchard tested dynamic panel positioning to meet crop-specific light requirements. Conventional shading methods were reassessed, and absolute irradiance targets were introduced to maintain stable light levels despite weather fluctuations. Using the APyV tool, simulations showed that 91% of the required irradiation for apples could be achieved, with a 20% reduction in electrical yield. However, some periods fell short of light requirements, highlighting the limitations of crop-based optimization. The findings offer valuable insights for improving agrivoltaic systems, better balancing energy production and agricultural needs.
