The Emergence of Agrivoltaics Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2024 9783031488603 The Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) nexus -- Energy and agriculture -- Solar photovoltaic energy in agriculture -- An overview of solar cell technologies towards next-generation agrivoltaics -- Designing the future of agrivoltaics.This book assists in the adoption of the sustainable cross-sectoral nexus approach of agrivoltaics, which can provide a quite significant untapped potential for the sustainable development of humanity. Increasing demand for water, energy and food, due to population growth and urbanization, is aggravated by unprecedented extreme weather and climatic conditions. This situation is likely to undermine the sustainable and peaceful development of humanity. Today, more than ever, there is an imperative need to support the identification and development of practical solutions, where the use of a nexus approach can lead to improved outcomes in the integrated management of water–energy–food–ecosystem (WEFE) resources. This book disseminates the current knowledge of the modern approach of agrivoltaics, providing a comprehensive state of the art on the field, discussing the current status, the challenges and the future perspectives for their further development. This new currently in-depth unexplored topic will be covered thoroughly by the present book, which will attract the readership of both the scientific and industrial research communities, even of people who are dealing with cultivations, promoting the development in the field, from conceptual designs to practical realizations.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3537Photovoltaic power generationRenewable energy sourcesAgriculturePower resourcesPhotovoltaicsRenewable EnergyAgricultureNatural Resource and Energy EconomicsPhotovoltaic power generation.Renewable energy sources.Agriculture.Power resources.Photovoltaics.Renewable Energy.Agriculture.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.621.31244Chalkias Dimitris A1586299Stathatos Elias1586300MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799218103321The Emergence of Agrivoltaics3872642UNINA
