In 2018, Lasta and Konrad [6] were the first to propose a classification, distinguishing between arable farming, PV greenhouses, and buildings. However, the authors did not yet address highly elevated and ground-mounted agrivoltaics. Brecht et al. [7] suggested another classification defining crop production and livestock as the two main applications of
Additional income from agrivoltaics | Versatility of ground-mounted PV. Solar panals and field. Agrivoltaic systems allow the double use of agricultural areas. For instance, producers of free range eggs can equip the range with ground-mounted solar panels. Sheep and suckler cows can also be kept under agrivoltaic systems.
