1、 Agrivoltaics:Integrating Solar Energy Generation with Livestock Farming in Canterbury Prepared for Our Land and Water Rural Professionals Fund 2023 Anna Vaughan,Alan Brent,Megan Fitzgerald,Jasper Kueppers&Ellie Wright June 2023 Executive Summary Agrivoltaics is the integration of agriculture and so

2、lar energy production and seeks to find synergies between the two to create a complementary system.Agrivoltaics relates to all agricultural activities.However,for the purpose of this report,solar integration with livestock farming is the focus.With increased interest in renewable energy generation a

3、nd utility-scale solar photovoltaic(PV)systems in Aotearoa New Zealand,agrivoltaics provides the opportunity to increase the productivity of land,contribute to the generation of renewable energy without displacing food production,and potentially optimise farming and environmental outcomes.A signific

4、ant area of Canterbury is classified as suitable for agrivoltaics and innovations in solar array designs and configurations are developing rapidly.In saying that,certain factors remain challenging,such as the increase in wind shear effects and financial expense when panels are elevated to reduce sha

5、ding and prevent damage from larger grazing livestock,such as cattle.The trade-offs to consider when selecting the most appropriate design for agrivoltaic systems add additional complications.Some of the factors to balance include electricity generation,cost-effectiveness,degree of shading produced,

6、ability to withstand the site environment,and ability to withstand livestock grazing underneath.Shade provision to mitigate heat stress risk,and sheltering from harsh weather,are perhaps the greatest potential benefits of agrivoltaics for livestock.However,given the condensed siting(eg,one paddock)o
