Abstract

With increasing population growth and land-use competition, pasture production under photovoltaic installations offers an alternative paradigm for crop-livestock integration. The levels of pasture biomass production and potential for livestock grazing under photovoltaic installations depend considerably on the mode of the photovoltaic system.
