Agrivoltaics refer to the practice of co-locating solar panels or photovoltaic (PV) systems with agricultural activities on the same land. This innovative approach involves integrating solar energy production with traditional farming practices, enabling a dual-use of the land for both energy generation and agricultural purposes.
The main designs of agrivoltaics include fixed solar panels over crops and dynamic agrivoltaics. Fixed solar panel agrivoltaics involves the installation of solar panels in a stationary position on agricultural land. This setup generates solar energy while allowing agricultural activities to take place simultaneously, either underneath or around the panels. Various crops, such as leafy greens and root crops, are grown in the presence of solar panels. These panels can be made of different materials, including monocrystalline and polycrystalline cell types, and they may be arranged in standalone configurations, shading nets, or incorporated into greenhouse structures.

This agrivoltaics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The agrivoltaics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.06 billion in 2023 to $4.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, a heightened focus on energy efficiency, government incentives supporting renewable initiatives, a commitment to environmental conservation, and the integration of energy storage solutions. These factors collectively contributed to the development and adoption of agrivoltaics and its combination of solar energy production with agricultural activities.
The agrivoltaics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including rising concerns over food security, a focus on improving crop yields, increased public awareness and perception regarding sustainable practices, corporate sustainability goals, and initiatives contributing to rural development. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of solar panels with agriculture, the development of agrivoltaic microgrids, efforts toward carbon sequestration, global expansion of agrivoltaics, and advancements in farming techniques that promote sustainable and dual-use land practices.
The escalating demand for agricultural land is anticipated to drive the growth of the agrivoltaics market in the coming years. Agricultural land, encompassing arable land, areas under permanent crops, and permanent pastures, is witnessing increased demand. Agrivoltaics presents a sustainable and efficient approach to utilizing agricultural land, combining the advantages of renewable energy generation with agricultural production. This integrated approach has the potential to enhance the resilience of farming systems in the face of climate change. As per data from the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, a nodal government agency in India, the total area planted to Rabi crops during the 2021-2022 season reached 664.20 lakh hectares, marking a 15% increase compared to the previous year. This growth in the area planted with Rabi crops reflects the rising demand for agricultural land, thereby propelling the agrivoltaics market.
Leading companies in the agrivoltaics market are actively developing innovative products to meet international standards, prioritizing quality and safety. One such example is Bisol Lumina, introduced by Bisol, a solar energy company based in Slovenia. Bisol Lumina is a bifacial monocrystalline PV module featuring a transparent backsheet designed to ensure a high transparency ratio and efficient energy conversion.
