Agrivoltaics is currently more expensive than ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, as it is designed to promote and optimize agricultural production, sometimes to the detriment of photovoltaic production. In fact, the structures are raised to adapt to the height of crops, animals or machinery. Some panels are less powerful, to let in more light for the plants. Nevertheless, costs will continue to fall as technology evolves.
How much does the energy cost of agrivoltaic systems compare with the energy cost of ground-mounted photovoltaic systems?
