A study published in npj Sustainable Agriculture demonstrates that integrating photovoltaic solar panels with crop cultivation (agrivoltaics) alleviates midday photosynthetic depression in dryland environments. This synergistic approach boosts plant productivity by reducing thermal stress under intense sunlight, contributing to climate-resilient agriculture. The work advocates agrivoltaics as a sustainable solution for maintaining crop yields amid increasing temperature extremes affecting arid and semi-arid farming regions globally.
