Solar Panels Plus Farming? Agrivoltaics Explained

GREAT

Matt, is Dave you from the future?

interesting 🎉

You answered your question when you said that without government intervention it's no efficient or feasible. In my opinion it could be a good alternative for unproductive lands, but when a product or service can't withstand the market for itself, forcing its introduction doesn't produce good results in a long term, and it tents to disappear. Sustainability is crucial for any new technology or method. Personally i like it, i believe it may be very beneficial for animal farming, as i doubt that it'll affect the productivity and probably it will increase it. Excellent channel and work. Congratulations.

I admire the hard work you put into your farm and how you document everything for us to learn

Why don't they just build roofs over the highways with solar panels? "Free" land, no loss of production. Roads are safer in rain, in sun and on snowy days. All win win.

Could you implement aquaponics into this to make it more efficient?

❤❤❤

Thank you for video. This video is very professional

Why not use fiber optics to transfer sunlight past the panels and diffuse light directly to the plants.

Farm+ solar= win. For the CCP.

The joy you get from your harvest is so inspiring

wonderful for our argriculture, love it

If they’re going to use solar, put them on existing structures rather than land. Flat roof buildings like Walmarts & grocery stores. Nobody could hardly tell they’re there. Put them over large parking lots. Great for shade. Why aren’t solar panels on top of every vehicle, especially freight trucks? Don’t plaster land with ugly panels.

"Incredible content! The way you present information is top-notch. 👍 I’ve got a new video out on [related topic] if you want to check it out.

Such a creative way to combine solar panels plus farming

I like the concept. Added to the panels could be a hard surface water collection system from rainfall. Especially important in Australia due to its dryness. Having channels or gutters attached and piped to underground tanks could have enormous benefit for agricultural and water saving in general. Just a thought.

Nice concept buddy, we should add up one more valuable point changing climate condition !

I am pretty sure everyone agrees the population is going to go waaaay down.

적합한 작물 이라는 문재가 있죠.
정확히는 식량작물.

Hi guys, I am Lex from Amerisolar, if you are interested in solar panels, please contact me.

the wind farm has a setback it steady`s the wind direction so you get a wind tunnel effect!

What do you think on dusty that reduce productity

Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

The Chinese are experimenting with solar over aquaculture. Fish ponds produce 50 % more with shade.

I need to connect to the company that does this

Thanks!

I think if we put solar cells on our government buildings they'd actually be contributing something to their respective nations and not leeching energy off of them

Optimization would be flexible. If the growing season is bad farmers could choose to keep solar primary function. It should be subsidized for many reasons, 1 is that it helps build distributed generation networks, 2 saves water, 3 crop failure still results in power generation

Привіт, ми виробники домашнього зберігання енергії і хотіли б побачити, чи існує можливість співпраці.

Plant plants + Eat plants= Save planet. Simple😊

The world needs to bring in laws to protect our future from NIMBY-ism, immediately!

Have to say there is great fanfare about this type of technology, I only ask one Question with billions of solar panels being used around the world that have a life span between 15 & 20 years in the next 5 years or so we will see millions being replaced where are they going to go? Land fill no poisons the ground recycling won't keep up. Like plastic bags will be lying around everywhere thrown in river the ocean. In my opinion these solar panel will become an environmental disaster in the future like we have not seen. This needs to be talked about

On dam

This solar panels on farms is crazy generating so much heat and damaging the environment , the wildlife is being killed and birds died everywhere in the area , it’s just making the farmers lazy and rich tbh

More like lose lose.

Should be mandatory everywhere

Joke

Animals are not food . Ve Vegan

Awesomeness with Solar marches on and on ! Read Solar Independent Utility Systems Manual

No way.. the title is misleading.. without water farming can never be a win. Got it.

Seems good at small scales but unrealistic at scale.

Ironic that you mentioned hail damage to the plastic shading over the raspberries in the Netherlands, but never mentioned hail damage to the solar panels. Plastic sheeting is a LOT less expensive to repair/replace than solar panels. I've seen a photo of solar panels that were completely destroyed by one hail storm. May not happen often but only has to happen once.

Solar is a joke as a whole
