Agrivoltaic technology allows dual use of land, combining agricultural production with photovoltaic electricity generation. We already reported how innovative tinted and semi-transparent solar panels could utilise 'spare' solar irradiation for electricity production when installed above growing plants. Applying these, and newly developed flexible agrivoltaic materials, to existing greenhouses or polytunnels could help UK protected agriculture to meet net-zero carbon targets. This energy-intensive and valuable UK farming sector will: trial how best to install next-generation panels, practically and cost-effectively, in a real-world commercial setting; compare effects on soft fruit of their implementation; and show how generated energy can facilitate automated farming.

农业光伏技术允许土地双重利用，将农业生产与光伏发电结合起来。我们已经报道过，当安装在正在生长的植物上方时，创新的有色半透明太阳能电池板如何利用“备用”太阳辐射来发电。将这些以及新开发的灵活农业光伏材料应用于现有温室或复合隧道可以帮助英国保护性农业实现净零碳目标。这个能源密集型且有价值的英国农业部门将： 试验如何在现实商业环境中以实用且经济高效的方式最好地安装下一代电池板；比较其实施对软果的影响；并展示产生的能源如何促进自动化农业。
