Abstract

As agrivoltaic (APV) systems gain global traction for their dual role in renewable energy production and sustainable agriculture, the need for standardized evaluation methods becomes increasingly critical. This paper presents the development of a comprehensive Agrivoltaic Rating System, a multi-dimensional framework designed to assess the performance and impact of APV across ten core domains: energy yield, available light under panels, crop yield and quality, spatial efficiency, environmental sustainability, financial feasibility, farm operation compatibility, community and social acceptance, policy and regulatory fit, and regional and climate suitability.
