The use of Solar panels to provide energy to a wide variety of farming needs both at household levels and for irrigation systems significantly reduces their expenditure on electricity in the long-term. Solar energy is relatively cheaper to set up and reliable for most part of Africa. The savings on energy use could be diverted into more plant variety plantings and innovative agribusiness ideas.
A recent study from experts at the University of Arizona also gave momentum to a practice called agrivoltaics. It involves putting solar panels on farmland and choosing areas that are best-positioned to help the surrounding areas use solar power. The research concluded that land currently used for crops has the highest solar-power potential.
Some people worry that using solar power on farmland compromises food production. Extensive research informed them that certain crops do better under the shade of the solar panels instead of in direct sunlight.
