Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Tracing Colonial Continuities: Internal Colonialism and Energy Transition in Sardinia

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Internal colonialism provides historical and structural conditions making current forms of energy extractivism possible. Processes through which earlier internal colonisation operated—territorial dispossession, racialised hierarchies, forced modernisation and the construction of internal ‘Others’—are reactivated today under the global ...

Developing crop-based agrivoltaic systems

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development
Solar developers seek agricultural lands as sites for new projects because of their high suitability for energy generation, and a growing number of farm­ers are interested in selling or leasing their land to developers as a form of financial ...

Should We Put Solar Panels in Rural Landscapes? Discrete Choice Modeling Reveals Preferences for Local Biodiversity and Community Benefits

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscapes provide a range of ecosystem services including food production, biodiversity conservation and recreational value. Increasingly, landscapes are also used to generate energy. While this is essential for achieving climate mitigation targets, it affects biodiversity and the appearance of rural landscapes, potentially leading to public ...

AVA‐MAPbI3 Cap‐and‐Root Islands on Mesoporous TiO2 Toward Neutral‐Color Semi‐Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells in Agrivoltaics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Photograph and scanning electron microscopy images of semi‐transparent AVA‐MAPbI3 cap‐and‐root islands in mesoporous TiO2. The spectrally neutral light transmitted by this architecture benefits agrivoltaic applications such as lettuce cultivation while maintaining a positive energy balance to meet annual greenhouse demands for lighting, irrigation, and

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Acceptance of AgriVoltaics - A Multi-Stakeholder Survey for a German AgriVoltaic System in Fruit Farming

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
Public perception of Agri-PV cannot be reliably assessed at this time, in part because the agricultural context and appearance of each Agri-PV system varies widely. Therefore, within the research project "Agri-PV Fruit Growing", a social impact analysis of Agri-PV in a fruit growing region (predominantly apple growing) was carried out in May 2021 and ...

Size and Dispatch Co-Optimisation of a Grid-Connected Agrivoltaic System

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
Agrivoltaic systems that leverage the opportunity of integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into land used for agriculture, have been shown to provide an effective platform for a mutually beneficial cooperation between energy and food. However, the

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11682-11696, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over
