DiTommaso and Grodsky are faculty fellows, and Zhang is a senior faculty fellow at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. A small experimental apple orchard at Cornell's Hudson Valley Research Laboratory may soon be topped by solar panels, which would capture the sun's energy and may prove beneficial to the trees.
Researchers hope the tests will show that tree fruit crops thrive under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for precious land with agriculture-a growing concern for those seeking to tackle climate change and rising food prices.
Agrivoltaics – the idea of growing viable crops while concurrently harnessing the sun's energy with solar panels – is not a new concept. Buono and his colleagues aim to demonstrate how the panels can be used to protect growing apples from extreme weather, including hail, in a changing climate.
That's why Nachtwey is collaborating with researchers to test which apple varieties thrive under the solar canopy, and which types of photovoltaic roofs are best suited for the orchard. To compare the results, some trees are covered with a conventional netting normally used to protect sensitive crops from hail.

The results of research carried out in the south of France showed that solar panels installed above apple, cherry, and nectarine plantations reduce heat and contribute to maintaining
This underscores the importance of careful site selection and ecological assessment to avoid the installation of PV modules at high-value ecological sites (Devitt et al., 2020). By
An agrivoltaic system deployed in an apple orchard provides the trees with a less stressful environment and decreased irrigation requirements, maintaining a more favourable tree water status. Some
The solar study, which has received $30 million in funding from Andrews Labor government''s Agriculture Energy Investment Plan, will install PV panels above a pear orchard,
It works by placing solar panels high above crops. The panels provide shade, which reduces how much water the plants need and protects them from getting too hot. With the right design, this dual-purpose

Agri-PV in Apple Orchards: Pilot Project for Food and Energy Production in Slovenia In a research apple orchard in Slovenia, a pioneering Agri-PV pilot project is being implemented. Within
Solar panels above orchard trees not only generate electricity for things like irrigation and post-harvest storage, but sunburn and hail damage impacts can be reduced significantly under agrivoltaics. At the
