Soluviljelmäkokeet

Soluviljelmäkokeet (Finnish for "solar crop experiments") refer to experimental studies combining solar energy production with agricultural cultivation. These trials aim to explore the feasibility of growing crops beneath photovoltaic (PV) panels, known as agrivoltaics, by evaluating how solar radiation, temperature, and other environmental factors affect plant growth while simultaneously monitoring PV system performance. Researchers focus on optimizing land use efficiency, reducing competition between energy and food production, and identifying synergies between solar power generation and agricultural output. Such experiments provide critical data for developing sustainable, integrated systems that balance renewable energy generation with food security, contributing to global efforts toward greener and more efficient land management.
