south-oriented system consists of 18 rows of 21 panels with a total output capacity of 170 kW
ZnShine 450 W bifacial solar modules with a bifaciality rating of 70%
Panel orientation was varied throughout the system, allowing for a determination of the optimum orientation
Power optimizers were installed so that the output of pairs of panels could be tracked, ensuring optimal energy generation and efficiency
two different row spacings and panel mounting heights were used in the experimental design
Researchers will plant a forage crop in April and will start grazing beef cattle in September
objective is to study the impacts of the agrivoltaic system on forage production and animal grazing, including any behavioral changes the animals may exhibit when grazing among the panels
racking system can ensure up to 120 cm of clearance from the ground and is able to endure a maximum wind speeds of 167 km/h
