ANNOUNCEMENTS
India is the fifth largest economy in terms of solar capacity utilization, with 64.38 GW of solar energy generation. Agrivoltaics can assist in developing renewable energy sources and hence it leads to lowering greenhouse gas emissions from power production using fossil fuels. The study aims to explore and understand social, economic, and policy aspects of agrivoltaics/Agri-PV/APV in India and how we can make agricultural activities climate smart/ Climate Smart Agriculture(CSA) to achieve the major goal of net zero target.
Agrivoltaics contributes to renewable energy generation and dual use of land for agricultural practices by solar energy generation through installing solar panels over agricultural fields, leading to a double source of income for farmers. Farmers can use energy generated from solar panels for various activities by replacing fossil fuels with solar energy. In India 300 good solar days. This can help India's renewable energy sector flourish while simultaneously helping to mitigate the effects of climate change on water supplies and agricultural productivity.
