Cover Story: In a temperate climate region, it is critical to design an agrophotovoltaic (APV) system to maximize the amount of electricity generation because strong solar radiation is only available for a few hours a day. This study aims to identify an efficient APV system structure for generating electricity from solar radiation without causing an adverse impact on crop growth. To evaluate the impact of the APV on crop production, sesame (Sesamum indicum), mung bean (Vigna radiata), red bean (Vigna angularis), corn (Zea mays), and soybean (Glycine max) were cultivated in the system located at Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (South Korea). Besides, economic benefits for farmers were analyzed under Renewable Energy Certificate and System Marginal Price policies. View this paper.
