Photovoltaic Systems and Sustainability

Integrating Amaranth and Agrivoltaics in the Creation and Assessment of Climate Resilient Food Systems

This study assesses amaranth growth under agrivoltaics in simulated climates, finding improved physiological performance with transparent PV modules.

Combinatorial bioassay for fast screening of organic agrivoltaic materials

This study develops a bioassay to screen organic agrivoltaic materials by assessing plant growth responses, finding that spectral composition is more critical than light intensity for plant development.

Assessing the impact of renewable energy installations on biodiversity and identifying sustainable trade-offs

This study assesses renewable energy impacts on biodiversity and identifies siting strategies that balance energy production with conservation goals across solar, hydropower, and wind installations in Switzerland.

Pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Conference) has shade-tolerant features allowing for consistent agrivoltaic crop yield

This study examines pear tree growth under agrivoltaic conditions, finding reduced yield but stable flowering, altered fruit shape, and delayed leaf senescence.
