Abstract
The combined agriculture and photovoltaic system are a trade-off between the amount of light received by the solar panel and the percentage of the light reaching the ground level. The light reduction percentage (% LR) factor for a specific plant, cultivated under the agrivoltaic (AV) system has been taken into consideration by previous research. Previous research considered the Light Reduction Percentage (% LR) factor for a specific plant in the agrivoltaic (AV) system, indicating a 40.92 % light reduction under a fixed structure, meeting Photo-synthetically Active Radiation (PAR) requirements. This study introduces the Light Productivity Factor (LPF) [1] along with light reduction to maximize energy yield, determine structural requirements, and supervise harvesting conditions for the crops. The main purpose is to estimate optimal tilt angles and orientations for fixed-tilted Photovoltaic (PV) structures, optimizing irradiance collection on PV modules while meeting minimum light reduction for shade-tolerant plants. Results demonstrate satisfactory agrivoltaic system performance with a maximum total irradiance of 1929 kW / m 2 / year, light reduction of 36.73 % for monofacial and 39.06 % for bifacial module, and LPF values of 0.9 and 1.5 for monofacial and bifacial panels respectively and determining the value of tilt angle of 9° for both the panel type and orientation of 190° for monofacial and 185° for bifacial module respectively.
