Evaluation of the first agrivoltaic system facility in Sweden to compare commercially available agrivoltaic technologies - MATRIX

Agrivoltaic systems are likely to play a key role in the future energy systems by avoiding the conflict between land for energy versus land for food that characterize conventional solar parks.

This research project follows the previous pioneering project founded by the Swedish Energy Agency to build the first experimental agrivoltaic system in Sweden.

This project aims at developing the first agrivoltaic system experimental facility in Sweden to compare commercially available agrivoltaic technologies.

The project will generate a unique database for Sweden and worldwide on the effects of different agrivoltaic configurations on microclimate, PV production, and crops production. This will allow to develop cutting-edge tools for the simulation, optimal design, and operation of agrivoltaic systems. A demonstrator of control system for agrivoltaic systems equipped with solar tracker will be developed.
