Agri-solar water pumping design, energy, and environmental analysis: A comprehensive study in tropical humid climate

Agrivoltaics is an innovative approach where solar energy, water, land and biodiversity are integrated into the same area to maximize resource utilization for sustainable development, also known as Agrivoltaism. The combination of solar water pumping and agri-solar has led to the development of a ne...
