Agrivoltaics in India: Sharing Land Between Crops and Solar
ENSOL Engineering TeamPublished 2026-02-04Updated 2026-02-141 min read
Agrivoltaics places solar modules on elevated structures so that crops can grow beneath them, letting one piece of land produce both power and food.
How agrivoltaic structures differ
The frame is raised to give clearance for crops and farm equipment, which changes the geometry, wind exposure and load path compared with a standard ground-mount structure.
Design considerations
Greater height increases wind moments, so members and foundations are sized accordingly. Clearance is set by the crop and machinery beneath.
