Agrisolar is becoming an increasingly popular solution. It is a combination of agriculture and electricity generation from photovoltaic panels. Such devices are usually mounted at a height of almost two and a half meters in rows so that the land below can be used to grow vegetables and fruit or for cattle grazing.<\/p>\n<p>In the departments of Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne and Dr\u00f4me in the south of France, the company Sun\u2019Agri studied the performance of agrisolar systems in combination with fruit farming. For three years, the company monitored a series of parameters in orchards with apple, cherry, and nectarine trees under solar power panels. They were compared against equivalent orchards that were not covered.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of special devices for measuring active radiation for photosynthesis, the researchers tracked the growth of plants and their needs. Sensors were placed on the trees themselves to monitor water levels, functioning, stress, and the temperature of their organs. Ground sensors measured the amount of water in the soil. The study also showed that soil water availability decreased less under solar panels. The effect was attributed to the microclimate regulation in the shade of the panels, which improved the conditions for the plants and reduced transpiration and watering needs.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/balkangreenenergynews.com\/solar-panels-above-orchards-lower-temperature-help-conserve-water\/\">Balkan Green Energy News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-397\/\">Solar panels above orchards lower temperature, help conserve water<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,911,6838,11364],"class_list":["post-116676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-orchard","tag-solar-panel","tag-water-conservation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116676\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
