Problem
Traditional photovoltaic systems compete with agriculture for land use, potentially reducing crop yields and impacting food security. Optimizing both solar energy production and agricultural output on the same land area presents a complex challenge.
Solution
Agri-Light Energy Systems has developed a solar tracking system based on a proprietary agri-voltaic algorithm that enables the dual use of land for both photovoltaic power generation and crop cultivation. The system manages radiation levels to optimize electricity generation while simultaneously optimizing crop cultivation and yield. By strategically positioning photovoltaic panels over crops, the system produces renewable energy while providing specific amounts of sunlight and reducing water consumption. This approach maximizes land use, provides a stable income for farmers, and enhances food security.
Target Audience
The primary customers are farmers, agricultural businesses, and renewable energy companies looking to maximize land use, increase income stability, and promote sustainable agriculture.
