摘要
The global growth of renewable energy has been given importance targeting global energy needs while replacing fossil fuels. Large areas of land have been a major hurdle to this global target. Keeping in view the concern of the growing population and threats to food security, APV, which is a synergistic combination of photovoltaics and crop cultivation is being advocated. APV can lead to decentralized off-grid electrification of rural agricultural areas along with providing economic benefit to farming activities. However, the incorporation of APV in conjunction with its practicability as well as the impact on crop production needs to be thoroughly investigated. This paper is designed to focus on an elaborate overview of APV, with a comprehensive detailing of the design aspects and performance indicators of APV. APV can be a beneficial alternative to achieve more sustainable energy-food as well as at the same time a step towards conserving land resources. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
