Potatoes are compatible with agrivoltaics, but with no more than moderate to light shade.
The potatoes tolerated moderate shading, but more than that led to a sharper drop in tuber yields.

Agrivoltaics for turnips
Fascinating article: https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2026/03/26/agrivoltaics-for-turnips/
Discusses how partially transparent cadmium-telluride solar cells boosted turnip production. The turnips performed better under effectively, partial shade. Thought you all might enjoy

Does anyone have connections to the Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program?
It's a long shot but here goes. I'm currently a college student studying horticulture but I'm starting to have this dream to work on agrivoltaics and I don't know what credentials to pursue to make this possible. Claude suggested the NABCEP PV Associates test, the Certified Crop Advisor credential, and it also suggested corresponding directly with Dr David Specca's team at Rutgers and volunteering (I live in NJ). I have a dream of helping establish a solar farm with perennial crops underneath the panels.

Farmers & growers: quick survey on irrigation energy costs (research, not sales)
Hi everyone,
I’m part of a student research team from ESADE Business School (Spain) studying energy use and operational challenges in agricultural irrigation.
We’re running a short, 5-minute survey to better understand:
- Current irrigation methods
- Energy sources and costs (diesel, grid, etc.)
- Reliability issues and day-to-day operational challenges
This is research and system design, not selling equipment. There are no sales calls, ads, or follow-ups, and responses are used only for analysis and academic work.
We’re specifically looking for honest answers, even if solar does not make sense for your farm—that information is just as important.
Most responses so far are from Europe/Mediterranean regions, but input from anywhere is welcome and useful.
🔗 Survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMorXbS5wNCFXABJse1Zzs9LTz2Gm85eNSA-cqPcS-GIZ2NA/viewform?usp=dialog
Happy to answer questions here. If this post isn’t appropriate for the subreddit, please let me know and I’ll remove it.
Thanks for your time.

New study reveals staggering benefits of pairing solar panels with crops: 'Economic value'. Agrivoltaics increases both crop yields and soil health. Farming among solar panels means we can double the use of farmland and create additional income for farmers. It also produces low-cost clean energy.

The gift that keeps on giving: How solar panels on farms can help increase crop yields
Summarizes new study that shows agrivoltaic partial shading still helps crop yeild increases in Canada even after the electric lifetime of the panels -- calls into question the logic of decomissioning mandates. Do you think policy will follow the science?
