"Co-developing the same area of land for both solar photovoltaic power as well as for agriculture"
The principle of agrivoltaics, a way of fusing food with clean-energy production.
According to previous short definition of Agrivoltaic, Agrivoltaic or Solar Farm concept, What's the advantages and disadvantages of this model???🤔
Thank you Ahmed Fawzy Eid for exciting this topic.
In my opinion installing the solar panels in the agriculture fields can impede the cultivation and the growth process of the plants sharing the same area.
There is tremendous activity in the process of plantain, the presence of the panels will impede much these activities and render them very expensive.
The other important issue is shadowing the plants. Shadowing the plants is unacceptable and reduce much the revenue of the agriculturue.
The solar cell may be subjected to damage because of the agriculture activity .
They will receive large quantities of dust from the land.
Accordingly this idea is not feasible.
I think divide the land between the two activities is much profitable than overlapping the two with each other.
Simply because you can optimize every one independently.
Best wishes
The concept of agrivoltaics, applications, and future research
Agrivoltaics can be defined as the combination of solar energy production and agriculture on the same land, or the coexistence of solar‐energy conversion and plant cultivation. The idea is further refined by introducing the notion of the light saturation point to optimize production. Solar panels receive some of the light and leave the remaining light to pass by the panels for the crops. The light saturation point is the maximum amount of light a plant can use for photosynthesis. Above this amount, the photosynthesis rate will not increase. The solar panels must, at least, allow light intensity equal to this saturation point to reach the plants to enable optimal plant or crop growth. The agrivoltaic installation should also not impact the agricultural exploitation of the area. The panels must be high enough to allow farm vehicles to go beneath, for example, or to allow other agricultural management practices to coexist with the generation infrastructure. The space between two arrays must be wide enough for the same reason. Other practical and safety constraints include the prevention of panels falling due to the wind, as people could be working below.
Some of the benefits and disadvantages of these systems are listed in the next table.

Mr. Ahmed has done justice to this. This practice has alot of disadvantages.
