The Global Agrivoltaics Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 8.86 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 10.05% from 2023 to 2033.

 

Market Overview

Agrivoltaics is an ingenious technology, that combines agriculture with solar energy and is shaping up to be a promising solution for meeting agricultural, energy, and environmental challenges. Agrivoltaics maintains the resources required to ensure food security while promoting the switch to low-carbon energy sources by permitting solar photovoltaic panels installed on cropland or fitted on agricultural facilities. It promises to offer innovation, sustainability, and responsibility. Globally, the energy and agricultural industries are facing serious challenges due to the fast-changing climate, which includes rising temperatures and less precipitation along with growing concerns about water shortages. These difficulties are causing people to refocus on implementing agrivoltaics, which makes efficient utilization of sunlight for crop growth possible. Farmers can benefit from selling the electricity produced by solar panels and make additional revenue. As a result, agrivoltaics provides two benefits: increased agricultural output and power generation profits. It has also greatly impacted the worldwide market's overall growth.

Driving Factors

Agrivoltaics involves cultivating crops with photovoltaic panels positioned at a certain height to permit access to agricultural equipment like harvesters, levelers, tractor trailers, and others. The production system in the dynamic agrivoltaic segment is managed according to the physiological needs of crops. The technology consists of creating a unique initiative and building a dedicated structure to control the entire array of solar panels positioned above the crop plantation. Growing financial convenience for farmers in the form of passive income and enhanced environmental benefits have also emerged as key growth drivers for the agrivoltaics industry. Additionally, the need for efficient farming equipment is being driven by several factors, including the need to adapt to the effects of climate change, the depletion of resources like land and water, and consumer preferences for sustainable farming this will propel the market during the projected period.

 

Restraining Factors

The cost of photovoltaic panels and their installation is highly complex, requiring specialized knowledge and experience that increases the cost of photovoltaics overall on the market. This is the main cause of the growth in the cost of agrivoltaics. An obstacle impeding the spread of agrivoltaics, particularly in low-disposable countries, is the difficulty in obtaining the funding and initiatives needed for the installation of costly systems. Thus, the high installation cost of the agrivoltaics system hampers the market growth.

 

Market Segmentation

The global agrivoltaics market share is segmented into cell type, array configuration, and photovoltaic technology.

 

• The monocrystalline segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the cell type, the global agrivoltaics market is segmented into monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Among these, the monocrystalline segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period. A monocrystalline solar panel is more effective in low light and has an efficient half-cut that can withstand greater temperatures. It is also known to function best in overcast situations. Additionally, Continuous improvements and enhancements in monocrystalline technology result in better performance, lower costs, and increased availability. These advancements make the monocrystalline segment boost the market.

 

• The fixed segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period.

Based on the array configuration, the global agrivoltaics market is segmented into fixed and
single-axis tracking. Among these, the fixed segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period. The fixed segment is driven by its practicality, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with agricultural operations. The fixed segment represents a significant portion of agrivoltaics installations worldwide, offering a balance between solar energy generation and agricultural productivity. Many farmers and solar developers favor fixed arrays due to their simplicity and convenience of installation, which is one of their main advantages. Fixed arrays, as opposed to tracking systems, do not need intricate devices to change the angle of the solar panels, which lowers maintenance costs and eliminates possible weak points. Furthermore, because of their flexible deployment options, fixed arrays are a good fit for a range of agricultural environments, such as arable farming, horticulture, and grassland farming. Their immobility guarantees that farming operations are not severely disrupted, letting crops flourish without jeopardizing the production of solar energy.

 

• The monofacial segment accounted for the largest revenue share through the forecast period.

Based on photovoltaic technology, the global agrivoltaics market is segmented into monofacial solar panels, bifacial solar panels, translucent photovoltaic technology, and others. Among these, the monofacial segment accounted for the largest revenue share through the forecast period. The considerations, such as affordability, effectiveness, and suitability for agricultural pursuits, are driving the segment growth in the market. Traditional solar panels known as monofacials only allow light to enter from one side of the panel, which makes them perfect for installations when space is not an issue this results in a boost in the revenue share of the segment.
