One Pager - Agrivoltic Farming

Elevated panels, also known as agri-voltaic systems, allow farmers to grow crops while generating electricity using photovoltaic solar panels. This technology, first introduced in 1981, reduces heat stress on crops and conserves water by minimizing evaporation. The Asian Development Bank supports such projects, with Uttar Pradesh being the first Indian state to receive funding for its agrivoltaic initiative.
