Agrovoltaics involves the combined use of the same area of land for both
for agricultural production, as the main use, such as for the production of
electricity through a photovoltaic system, as a secondary use. Unlike
Conventional photovoltaic installations, this system is designed to
coexist with crops, providing mutual benefits for both production
agricultural use and for renewable energy generation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
